Which city is home to the American School for the Deaf?

• A. Hartford, Connecticut
• B. Anchorage, Alaska
• C. Brattleboro, Vermont
• D. Riverside, California

Answer: (A)

The main idea is knowing where the American School for the Deaf originated. It was founded in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1817 by Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc, making Hartford the place most closely tied to the school's beginnings and its status as the first permanent school for the Deaf in the United States. The other cities listed have no historical connection to the ASD’s founding or long-time location, so they don’t fit as the correct answer.
