A group of deaf children was discovered after a terrible earthquake had nearly destroyed the town. The children had been hiding
together for nearly a month.When an interpreter was brought in, she could not make sense of the signs she saw, yet the children were clearly communicating with one another. What is the most likely explanation?

power in the family could either be less or more shared or equally by both of
the husband and the wife.
