Passage Summary: Since people who cheat in school are more likely to cheat in their careers, the author believes that stopping school cheating will prevent career cheating.

Conclusion: Reducing academic plagiarism will lead to a reduction in professional misconduct.

Reasoning: Plagiarism is common among students, and those who plagiarize are statistically more likely to engage in professional misconduct later.

Analysis: This argument falls into the trap of confusing correlation with causation. Just because two behaviors are linked doesn't mean one causes the other; it is highly likely that a third factor, such as a lack of personal integrity, causes both. The author assumes that by removing the 'symptom' (plagiarism), they will automatically remove the 'effect' (misconduct), without addressing the underlying cause. Look for an answer that identifies this causal error.
