Which statement is an example of slippery slope?

Answer

A

People against screen time make ridiculous arguments for how dangerous the effects can be.

B

If we do not allow screen time, we hurt students, who will end up failing and having to repeat grades.

C

Studies have found that screen time, when used appropriately, can be beneficial to students.

D

Screen time does not waste hours since it can be used to help students make exponential growth.

Explanation

A slippery slope predicts that one decision will trigger a chain of increasingly serious consequences, without showing that the chain is likely. Choice B claims that not allowing screen time will hurt students and lead them to fail and repeat grades. That progression makes it an example of a slippery slope.
