B. significant increases in verbal IQ and achievement scores.
C. more efficient vocabulary learning and word use.
D. reading on grade level in the elementary grades..
Answer: C. more efficient vocabulary learning and word use. Option C is
correct because there is research to support the fact that children who are
deaf or hard-of-hearing and who receive early hearing intervention and early
exposure to language learning can expand their vocabularies and learn
words at the same rate as children who are not deaf. Option A is incorrect
, because early hearing interventions and early exposure to language learning
do not usually equate to slow language progress for deaf or hard-of-hearing
