** Model Answers with Gramamr Explanation: 

1- (a) identified : تم تحديدها

- "Identified" fits the context of ensuring that babies born deaf or hard of hearing are recognized early so that they can receive necessary support services.

- We need a verb describing the act of discovering deafness. "Identified" is the most fitting term as it signifies detection. "Working" doesn't make sense, "beamed" suggests happiness (not relevant), and "dedicated" means devoted (not the specific action).

2- (c) achieve : يحقق ✅

- "Achieve" indicates reaching or attaining certain developmental milestones. It fits well in the context of describing the developmental outcomes of babies who receive early intervention for hearing difficulties.

- This describes the positive outcome of early intervention. "Spoken" refers specifically to spoken language, "class" isn't relevant here, and "attend" means to be present somewhere. Achieve is the most general term for reaching developmental milestones.

3- (b) ensure : يضمن ✅
- "Ensure" means to make certain that something happens. In this context, it emphasizes the role of EHDI programs in guaranteeing timely diagnosis and intervention for babies with hearing difficulties.

- This describes the program's goal. "Necessary" could work, but "ensure" emphasizes making certain something happens. "Routines" and "chores" refer to daily tasks, not program goals.

4- (d) creative : مبدع ✅

- "Creative" describes innovative or imaginative solutions. It highlights the adaptability and resourcefulness of EHDI programs in using technology to continue providing services despite the challenges posed by the pandemic.

- This describes the way EHDI programs are using technology. "Guide" suggests giving instructions, "learn" is passive (not what the program is doing), and "secure" means to make safe (not the main focus). Creative emphasizes innovative approaches.

5- (b) potential : محتمل ✅

- "Potential" refers to the possibilities or capabilities of individuals. It fits the context of describing the developmental outcomes and possibilities for children with hearing difficulties when they receive appropriate support and intervention.

- This refers to the children's capacity for development. "Bright" suggests intelligence, but "potential" is broader. "Stories" doesn't fit the context, and "weave" means to create something (not the children's achievement).
