Susan was born deaf to hearing-impaired parents. She is fluent in sign language and successful in school. How will she perform on a standard intelligence test compared to hearing children her age

In this context in which Susan was born deaf to hearing-impaired parents, and she is fluent in sign language and successful in school,  she will perform on a standard intelligence test compared to hearing children of her age because the intelligence test is in the culture's dominant language (a language she cannot hear), she will not perform as well.

Explanation:

just be there for her.

explanation:

not necessarily literally but figuratively. also don't say things like "i understand how you feel", because even though you are trying to , you clearly don't understand how she feels (i'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you've never had a heart attack). also just let her rest. that is one of the best things for you to do.
