The correct conclusion you can draw from this scenario is:
**the balloon and paper have opposite charges.**
When you rub a balloon on a fleece blanket, the balloon typically becomes negatively charged, while the fleece tends to lose some electrons and become positively charged. The attracted pieces of paper likely carry a positive or neutral charge, allowing the negatively charged balloon to attract them.
**the balloon and paper have opposite charges.**
