Johnny patted his accordion. Come to think of it, in his whole life, he had never once seen Alcide(his hero) out on the dance floor.

What does this sentence mean?

2. But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay's memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. �I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word 'deceased' next to his name," said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture if Mckay in his uniform. �This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country.

We can learn from the paragraph that McKay _____.
A. preferred fight to his study
B. went to war before graduation
C. left a picture for Corey Everrett
D. set an example for his fellow students

I know B is right.

But is D also right?

Thanks.

B is true according to the facts. D is true (or not) according to speculation and/or interpretation.

Go with the facts.

Oops, sorry. It was late and I spaced out the first part of your question.

Thank. I think you are quite right. Now it reads reasonably.
