Question 23

Students wore buttons that read 3%.

The statement regarding students wearing buttons that read "3%" is irrelevant to summarizing the key events and outcomes of the Deaf President Now movement. The focus of the passage is on the selection of the president and the subsequent protests, rather than the specific details of the students' attire or slogans.

A) The board of trustees selected the only hearing candidate.

This information is crucial as it describes the pivotal moment that sparked outrage among the students at Gallaudet University. The selection of the only hearing candidate in a pool of qualified deaf candidates is central to understanding the context and significance of the protests.

B) Students wore buttons that read 3%.

This detail is irrelevant to the main narrative of the passage. While it may reflect some aspect of the protests, it does not contribute to the understanding of the key events, demands, or implications of the Deaf President Now movement.

C) Students protested for just a week.

The duration of the protests is relevant as it indicates the intensity and urgency of the students' response to the board's decision. It highlights the commitment of the students to their cause within a specific timeframe, making it a significant detail for summarization.

D) All the demands of the DPN protest were met.

This information is pertinent to the overall outcome of the movement. Knowing that all demands were met provides insight into the success of the protests and the eventual change in leadership at Gallaudet University, making it an important point in summarizing the passage.

Conclusion

The correct answer is option B, as it is a detail that does not contribute to understanding the core events of the DPN movement. In contrast, the other options provide essential context about the selection process, the protests' duration, and the fulfillment of demands, all of which are critical for summarizing the impact of the movement effectively.
