参考答案：A

参考解析：

细节理解题。根据第三段第二、三句“This awkwardness might arise because non-deaf people just don’t know how to do so without possibly offending someone. ‘I guess they think saying ‘deaf’ is offensive, but it really isn’t and deaf people don’t get upset about it,’ Davis said.”可知，这种尴尬可能是因为正常人不知道如何在不冒犯他人的情况下做到这一点。戴维斯说：“我猜他们认为说‘聋子’很无礼，但事实并非如此，聋人不会为此感到不安。”由此可知，根据戴维斯的说法，人们害怕冒犯聋人，这可能会让他们在与聋人交流时感到尴尬。故选A。
