The crumpled paper and the baseball are both held at rest one meter above the floor. Repeat...the objects are being held at rest and are not being dropped. Upon which object is the force of gravity the largest? and why

Gravity is a constant, always being approximately 9.8 m/s^2 (meters per second-square acceleration).
As such, if the the earth had no atmosphere to allow air molecules to provide as a resistance (friction) against the falling objects, both objects would hit the ground at the same time. (Another reason why density only plays a factor when calculating times based upon atmospheres or other forces,)

c. no longer which include air restistance All gadgets fall on the comparable gravity fee. I heard this guy proved it like 1000 years in the past via dropping 2 problems with the leaning tower of pisa and that they the two fell on the comparable time.

I'm pretty positive they are the same because gravity is a constant and doesn't change with weight or shape, the only reason something might fall faster is wind resistance.
