The best choice would be to use assistive technology, such as hearing aids or closed captioning, to accommodate Rachel's impairment so that she can perform the duties of the job. This would allow her to be treated fairly and equally as a qualified candidate. It is important to note that eliminating or reducing her impairment is not possible, but accommodating it is a reasonable and ethical solution. Option D, apecial with a special, is not a valid answer. Option E, a live assistant to help with, may not be necessary if assistive technology can adequately accommodate Rachel's impairment.
