Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

If children are exposed to sign language beginning at a very early age, their language development will be similar to that of hearing children. Having a viable communication system ensures that children will have ongoing exposure to general information about the world and to the specific concepts and symbolic systems of their culture, all of which are important to general cognitive development. Furthermore, children can acquire appropriate social skills only when they can communicate effectively with others.
