dentify the question that would be most compelling as the final sentence of the paragraph that follows. This opening paragraph is from a student paper about why high schools and universities must do more to address the growing problem of plagiarism. With the emergence of the Internet over the last twenty-five years, academic dishonesty has taken on many new forms.
