Hi I would like for my answers to be checked for these two questions (Note: I'm not sure if the 2nd one is correct):
1. Several school-related words are based on which sign?
a. book
b. learn
c. school
d. study
My Answer: book
2. How do you change a statement in American Sign Language to a question?
Example: You like math? ----> Do you like math?
a. change the order of signs
b. change the palm orientation of the signs
c. change your facial expression
d. change the handshapes
My Answer: change the handshapes
Is the 2nd one correct or not?
The answers are;
1. BOOK
2. LEARN
3. change your facial expression
Hope this helps! :)
1. In order to determine which sign several school-related words are based on, you should consider the meaning of each option and how it relates to school. For example, the word "book" is commonly associated with school activities, such as studying and reading textbooks. However, it is important to note that words related to school can be based on different signs depending on the specific context or concept being conveyed. To get a more accurate answer, it would help to provide some specific school-related words you have in mind, as this question is open-ended in its current form.
Regarding your answer, "book," it is not necessarily incorrect. However, it is important to consider other options as well.
2. To change a statement in American Sign Language (ASL) to a question, you have to use specific grammatical structures and visual cues. While changing the handshapes can be one aspect of forming a question in ASL, it is not the only factor.
In ASL, you typically change statements to questions by using specific facial expressions and non-manual markers, such as raising your eyebrows, tilting your head forward, and slightly narrowing your eyes. These facial expressions help convey the question intonation and make it clear that it is a question being asked.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question "How do you change a statement in American Sign Language to a question?" would be: "c. Change your facial expression." Please note that simply changing handshapes alone would not necessarily transform a statement into a question in ASL.
