2. The Deaf Community feels cochlear implants are a threat to Deaf Culture. 

Explanation

Cochlear implants are seen as a threat to Deaf Culture because they are perceived as promoting the idea that deafness is a medical condition that needs to be fixed, rather than a cultural identity. The Deaf Community values sign language and deaf culture, and sees cochlear implants as a potential threat to their language, community, and way of life. They believe that cochlear implants may lead to a decrease in the use and recognition of sign language and a loss of Deaf identity.

Submit
3. The Deaf Community feels a cochlear implant is needed in order to lead a successful and productive life. 

Explanation

The statement is false because the Deaf Community does not universally believe that a cochlear implant is necessary for a successful and productive life. The Deaf Community values sign language and Deaf culture, and many individuals choose not to pursue a cochlear implant or other hearing technologies. They believe that being Deaf is a natural part of their identity and do not see it as a disability that needs to be fixed. Therefore, the statement is incorrect.

Submit

This implies that Marianne believes that a cochlear implant can provide Heather with the benefits of both the deaf and hearing worlds, allowing her to experience and participate fully in both. Therefore, the answer is true.

Submit

Submit
6. Nancy fears that she and her husband, Michael, who also uses only sign language, will not be able to communicate fluently with their grandson, Peter.

Explanation

The given statement is true because Nancy and her husband, Michael, both use sign language as their primary means of communication. Since their grandson, Peter, may not be familiar with sign language, Nancy fears that they will not be able to communicate fluently with him. This suggests that there may be a potential language barrier between Nancy, Michael, and Peter, making it difficult for them to have effective communication.

8. Mari, the twins' mother, mother would like to have both of her sons implanted. 

Explanation

The statement is false because the sentence is grammatically incorrect. It should say "Mari, the twins' mother, would like to have both of her sons implanted." Without the word "mother" being repeated, the sentence does not make sense. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Submit
9. In the end, both Heather and Peter, the baby, receive cochlear implants. 

Explanation

In the given statement, it is mentioned that both Heather and Peter, the baby, receive cochlear implants. However, the correct answer is False. The statement contradicts itself because it states that both Heather and Peter receive cochlear implants, but Peter is referred to as a baby. Cochlear implants are typically not recommended for babies, as they are usually only considered for individuals who have severe to profound hearing loss and have not benefited from other forms of hearing aids. Therefore, the statement is false.
