What type of language is advised for students with hearing impairments?. Complex and lengthy sentences. Clear language, short sentences, and visual aids like schemes/mind maps. Technical jargon and abstract concepts.

Which tools are suggested for supporting students with hearing impairments?. Audio recordings only. Subtitling of video content, clear digital registers, and collaboration with communication assistants or LIS interpreters. Exclusively written materials.

What type of assessments are preferred for students in the second cycle of secondary education (II Grado)?. Primarily oral interrogations. Written tests and closed-ended multiple-choice questionnaires. Project-based assessments only.

How should oral interrogations be conducted for students with hearing impairments?. With long, complex questions. With brief, summarizing questions, avoiding complex or ambiguous formulations. Using technical terms and abstract concepts.

When evaluating students with hearing impairments, what should be assessed?. Formal difficulties and syntactic errors directly related to deafness. The content and acquired competencies, not formal difficulties or errors stemming from deafness. The speed of response regardless of accuracy.

What is the true meaning of an inclusive school according to the document?. A school that simply 'hosts' students with disabilities. A school that transforms its own organization to be accessible to all students from the outset. A school that provides separate classes for students with disabilities.

What is the ultimate goal of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)?. To create lessons that require post-hoc adaptations for students with disabilities. To design lessons that are accessible to all students from the start, without the need for special adjustments. To standardize teaching methods for all students.

What is the primary role of the Eustachian tube?. To amplify sound. To transmit vibrations to the inner ear. To ensure correct pressure for eardrum vibration.

What does the term 'Mista' (Mixed) refer to in the classification of hearing loss based on lesion site?. Damage exclusively to the inner ear. Damage to both the outer/middle ear and the inner ear (cochlea or auditory nerve). Temporary hearing loss affecting both ears.

What is a challenge for deaf children in language development regarding babbling?. They babble excessively without auditory feedback. They stop babbling after 6 months due to lack of auditory feedback, unless specifically stimulated. Their babbling is inherently different and less complex from birth.

Which of the following is an example of a tool for effective communication in a classroom with hearing-impaired students?. Speaking loudly from the back of the room. Using gestures without showing the face. Using clear language and providing visual aids like mind maps.
