Read the passage. Anika and Mateo are on the planning committee for the Valentine’s Day dance. Their task is to set the price for the tickets. Mateo wants to offer tickets at a lower price if couples buy them together. Anika, who identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, asks, "We’re going to discount tickets for LGBTQ+ couples too, right? We have an equal right to come to the dance as couples. Why should we pay more?” "No, let’s compromise.” Mateo replies. "We should have the LBGTQ+ students buy tickets at the regular price and then meet up at the dance.”
Answer
A
It is an effective compromise because LGBTQ+ couples can still buy tickets.
B
It is an effective compromise because LBGTQ+ students can still come to the dance.
C
It is not an effective compromise because LBGTQ+ students are the only ones giving up something.
D
It is not an effective compromise because no LGBTQ+ student is part of the decision-making process.
Explanation
A compromise should involve both sides giving something up. Mateo’s proposal lets other couples receive the lower ticket price, while LGBTQ+ couples must pay the regular price and meet at the dance. That puts the burden only on LGBTQ+ students, so it is not an effective compromise. The correct choice is “It is not an effective compromise because LGBTQ+ students are the only ones giving up something.”
