Answer:

I am 90% sure the answer is A or it could also be B but i am sure it is A.

Explanation:

Hope this helped im sorry if it was wrong hope you have a good day :)

The Ransom Center has been compared to a tomb, a fort, and a bank. It is one of the world's greatest cultural museums, but it has few admirers. Many
people think the center is an ugly, unfriendly looking place. That will soon change, though. The Ransom Center is undergoing $14 million worth of
improvements. The changes should make the Ransom Center easier to use and nicer to look at. The improvements should also bring more visitors. In the
last ten years, only 10,000 people each year have visited the building.
Many things will change at the Ransom Center. More windows will be added to make the building less dark and crowded. There will be a 125-seat theater
and three display rooms for viewing rare collections. The reading room will be larger, better lighted, and easier to use. The reading room is the most
important new section as far as most people are concerned. That is because the Ransom Center is home to over 40 million rare books, manuscripts,
photographs, and artworks.

Read the excerpt from “A Journey West.” Now, I was thirteen and I'd been working my whole life. I was the leader of the family (after Momma and Daddy, of course). Everyone knew I was a hard worker who handled a plow and team as well as any man. I could gentle a horse with a look and a whisper. So my family always listened to me.

Read this excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller. Based on the excerpt, what are Keller’s feelings about the learning differences between children who hear and children who are deaf?

I had now the key to all language, and I was eager to learn to use it. Children who hear acquire language without any particular effort; the words that fall from others' lips they catch on the wing, as it were, delightedly, while the little deaf child must trap them by a slow and often painful process. But whatever the process, the result is wonderful. Gradually from naming an object we advance step by step until we have traversed the vast distance between our first stammered syllable and the sweep of thought in a line of Shakespeare.

A.
Children who hear learn to communicate naturally, while deaf children must overcome obstacles.
B.
Children who are deaf understand difficult language such as Shakespeare with ease.
C.
Children who hear undergo a slow and painful process to learn, while deaf children do not.
D.
Children who are deaf undergo the same gradual process to learn as children who hear.
