Read the passage and choose the best option to answer each of the following questions

According to the Hearing Health Foundation (HHF), one in five Americans have hearing loss in at least one ear and three out of every 1,000 children are born deaf or hard of hearing. Looking at these staggering statistics, it’s obvious why people with the skills to work with the deaf community are increasingly in demand.From sign language interpreters and teachers to speech pathologists and audiologists, the range of occupations working with deaf and hard of hearing people is wide, and jobs in this field are readily available. Careers in the field vary in terms of age ranges, settings, and educational scope. Volunteering in hospitals, researching jobs and college programs, and learning sign language are all helpful in choosing a career path.Narrowing down a specific direction within a particular occupation also helps in the process of selecting a career working with deaf people. For example, candidates interested in a counseling job may decide to focus only on working with deaf clients, others may choose to work with the hard of hearing as a sign language instructor, but specializing in teaching preschool children.After establishing a career path, finding the right education is the next step in the process. Degrees needed to work with the deaf and hard of hearing can range from an Associate in Early Childhood education degree and a Bachelor in American Sign Language degree to a Doctorate in Audiology and a Doctor of Psychology degree. In order to graduate, these programs often require students to take core classes in areas such as linguistics, anatomy, child development, cognitive psychology, and research methods, as well as to complete a special practicum and student teaching assignments and to pass exams.
