Passage Summary: The author thinks that because some rich people are crooks, no rich person can be trusted to serve on a committee that requires high moral character.

Conclusion: Wealthy individuals should be entirely excluded from the Grandville Planning Committee.

Reasoning: Some wealthy citizens have been criminals, and the committee requires members with impeccable ethical standards.

Analysis: The logic here is quite a leap—it's essentially saying that if one apple is rotten, the whole orchard must be burned down. The author is guilty of an overgeneralization, assuming that a characteristic of some wealthy people (criminality) applies to all wealthy people. To find the flaw, look for an answer that points out this failure to distinguish between a few bad actors and the entire group. It’s a classic case of 'guilt by association' that ignores the possibility of an ethical wealthy person existing.
