Sure, but is it not unusual to have "dead code consisting of lines from the original file repeated in random locations"? That would certainly stick out in any other environment (like a professional one).
I didn't study anything related to computers/software/programming in school, so I don't know what level is expected. But if I was tutoring someone and they handed me something with dead code in random locations in it, it would certainly catch my attention.
