Explanation:

To determine which detail supports the effectiveness of Vietnam War protests, we analyze each option:

• Option A explains reasons for hating the war, not its effectiveness.
• Option B describes people's reluctance to support the war after seeing it, but not the impact of protests.
• Option C describes a protest action (draft card burning) but doesn't show its effectiveness.
• Option D shows that public approval of the war dropped to 30% by 1971, indicating that protests (which influenced public opinion) were effective in reducing support for the war.

Answer:

D. "Public opinion polls show that public approval of the war dropped to barely 30% by 1971."
