Deaf literature can be placed into which of these two main categories?
a. asl and signed
b. spoken and signed
c. written and signed
d. written and spoken

I believe the correct answer is C. written and signed.
Given that deaf people cannot hear, spoken literature wouldn't really do much for them as they won't be able to hear it. This means that you can eliminate options B and D immediately. When it comes to A, ASL stands for American Sign Language, which is the same as signed language, so you don't have to mention the same thing twice, which means that you can also eliminate A. This leaves us with C as the correct answer, as deaf people use sign language, and they can read.

In paragraph 47, it says “moments like these make a pioneering flight anything but dull” i’d say he’s optimistic and determined? ? and in 48, it describes how i’m assuming people he looks up to walked the same path so maybe he’s honored to be on the journey ? sorry if i’m wrong.

The correct answer here would be "a"
