Answer:
This exercise is an example of <u>cognitive complexity</u>.
Explanation:
In psychology, cognitive complexity refers to the ability one has to perceive nuances and meanings in a situation. People with high cognitive complexity are able to think in a more abstract manner, coming up with elaborate interpretations. That is what happens in the example we are studying here. You went from a simple interpretation - my friend is busy - to a much more complex one - my friend is angry at me - even though nothing explicitly happened to lead you to that conclusion.
When writing to inform, your objective is to let the reader know something while using facts instead of emotion. It should be informational and not persuading by using something that will trigger the person’s emotions.
Military bases often have a dress code for the public government buildings. These dress codes vary depending on the military base and sometimes can become even more strict if the base is being visited by a high-ranking government official. Often these dress codes are posted outside of the public building. Most of the time the dress code is about wearing pajamas or bathing suits, but they may also contain rules against wearing anything that promotes something that is considered illegal by base rules. Even though marijuana is legal in some states, it's not in places run by the federal government - like military bases. Since the leggings "advertise" what is considered an illegal substance they could be considered against the dress code.
The best advice for what to wear on base is to only wear what you think would be appropriate at school. This is generally the best way to judge whether or not you're dressed appropriately for the public spaces.
