Our school needs a stricter policy about tardiness. Without a stricter policy, students will come to class late. If those students don’t face any consequences, they will soon be late regularly and may start skipping first period all together. Skipping one class will lead to skipping more classes, and students will keep skipping until they’ve failed the course.
Which kind of faulty reasoning is shown in this paragraph?
loaded language
slippery slope
ad hominem
omission

Slippery slope.
The argument claims a chain of increasingly extreme consequences (late → regularly late → skipping → failing) without showing how each step will likely follow. It’s not ad hominem (no attack on a person), not loaded language (no emotionally charged wording), and not merely an omission of evidence.
