I would say c. timelessness of the message.
Why? Because:
a) your piece of writing has to have a message - if there is no message, there is no point in writing it.
b) you have to have an intended audience you are writing for - it is not the same writing something for your friends, little brother/sister, professor or a potential employer.
c) the format of the message is important because of the previous factor and because the format usually affects the reception of the writing; nobody will be interested in your text if you write it without commas, fullstops, capitalized letters at the beginning of the sentence, or for example, without spaces between the words because it would be too confusing.
While, the timelessness is not as important. You are writing it for a special purpose now, and if it is good it might become timeless. But there are probably many great works (poems, scientific papers, novels, etc.) that were lost or forgotten, but that does not mean they were not great or significant.
Hope my answer is not too confusing :)
Answer:
sorry didn't understand your question
The correct answer is answer D ("Slippery slope").
This type of fallacy presents itself when the clear core of a discussion is taken out of proportion by suggesting a possible chain of negative events that could come as a direct consequence of that core element.
In this case, the core element of the discussion is whether or not a school should determine how their students should dress, <u>which is a reasonably small imposition</u>. The argument against it suggests that if we give a school that right, they would be likely to also try imposing what students can say outside of class, <u>which is a wild exaggeration</u>. It's clear how out-of-propotion this argument is as the school would have no way of monitoring students outside school and there's no clear reason to suspect the school wants this level of control anyways.
Looking out for this type of wild exaggerations that try to relate two very different events and disguise them as a cause-and-effect realtionship is the best way of recognizing the slippery slope fallacy.
Hope this helps!
