Sound And Fury: 0156

Heather, a young Deaf girl, wants a cochlear implant in the beginning. This implies that she desires to undergo a surgical procedure to receive a cochlear implant, which is a device that can provide some level of hearing for individuals with hearing loss. The statement does not provide any information about whether Heather eventually receives the implant or if her desire changes over time.

The Deaf Community feels that cochlear implants are a threat to Deaf Culture because they believe that cochlear implants promote the idea that being deaf is a disability that needs to be fixed. They argue that Deaf Culture is a rich and vibrant community with its own language (sign language) and traditions, and cochlear implants may undermine this cultural identity by encouraging individuals to assimilate into the hearing world. Additionally, some Deaf individuals may feel that cochlear implants prioritize hearing and communication with the hearing community over embracing and celebrating their deaf identity.

The statement is true because Nancy and her husband, Michael, both use sign language as their primary means of communication. Since their grandson, Peter, does not use sign language, there may be a potential language barrier that could hinder fluent communication between them.

The statement suggests that the Deaf Community believes a cochlear implant is necessary for success and productivity in life. However, this is not necessarily true. The Deaf Community is diverse and has different perspectives on cochlear implants. While some individuals may choose to get a cochlear implant, others may prefer to use sign language and embrace Deaf culture. Therefore, it cannot be generalized that the entire Deaf Community feels a cochlear implant is needed for a successful and productive life.

Marianne, Heather's grandmother, believes that Heather should have the best of both worlds by having a cochlear implant. This suggests that Marianne supports the idea of Heather having a cochlear implant, which would enable her to benefit from both the hearing world and the world of the deaf. Therefore, the statement "True" is the correct answer.

Nita, who is Heather's mother, initially wanted to get a cochlear implant for herself. This suggests that Nita had a desire or intention to undergo the procedure of getting a cochlear implant.

The statement is false because it says that Mari, the twins' mother, would like to have both of her sons implanted. However, the word "implanted" is not clear in the context provided. It could refer to a medical procedure or something else entirely. Without more information, it is not possible to determine the correct answer.

Peter and Nita, feeling frustrated and without support, decided to move to a School for the Deaf. The question asks for the state where this school is located. The correct answer is Maryland.

The statement says that both Heather and Peter, the baby, receive cochlear implants. However, the correct answer is false, which means that this statement is not true. Therefore, either Heather or Peter or both of them did not receive cochlear implants in the end.
