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.”

Which statement best describes Mateo’s suggestion?

It is an effective compromise because LGBTQ+ couples can still buy tickets.
It is an effective compromise because LBGTQ+ students can still come to the dance.
It is not an effective compromise because LBGTQ+ students are the only ones giving up something.
It is not an effective compromise because no LGBTQ+ student is part of the decision-making process.
