A deaf blind mute won't be required to do any of the three.
If they're over 50 years old, they're exempt from the requirement.
There are other exemptions. But generally speaking, "it'll be on the test." It's something they have to learn as part of the process of becoming a citizen. It's not something they have to know when they get to the border.

You’re missing the point of the OP’s post. The issue is there are workers who aren’t vacationing in TV so it’s akin to a boarding house and there are six people in one very small house coming and going perhaps in various vehicles. The part about them not speaking English might be the OP’s frustration attempting to communicate with them and trying to ascertain what’s going on.
