What’s the best way to describe the activity of a group of people who are sympathetic to a cause and have gotten together in front of a property to voice their concerns without violence?

  1. Peaceful demonstration

  2. Political rally

  3. Violent political unrest

  4. Executive protest

The correct answer is: Peaceful demonstration

A peaceful demonstration is the best way to describe the activity of a group of people who have gathered together to voice their concerns without violence. This term refers specifically to instances where participants express their views or advocate for a cause in a non-threatening manner. They are often characterized by the display of placards or banners, speeches, songs, or silence, but most importantly, they are carried out without resorting to violence or aggressive behavior. In contrast, terms such as a political rally, violent political unrest, or an executive protest occasion either a specific political context, violent actions, or participation by high-ranking officials, none of which is necessarily present in the described situation.
