None of the words listed would use the AGENT marker when signed. The AGENT marker is used to indicate that someone is doing or performing an action. However, the words provided are not verbs or actions that can be performed by an agent.
The word "ACTOR" would use the AGENT marker when signed.
To determine which of the given words would use the AGENT marker when signed, we need to understand what the AGENT marker represents in sign language. In sign language, an AGENT marker is used to indicate a person or thing that performs an action or causes an action to happen.
Let's analyze each word:
1. ACTOR: An actor is someone who performs in plays, movies, or television shows. Since an actor is a person who performs actions, it would be appropriate to use the AGENT marker when signing the word "ACTOR."
2. ACTING: Acting refers to the profession or activity of performing in plays, movies, or television shows. Similar to the word "ACTOR," "ACTING" also involves the performance of actions. Hence, the AGENT marker would be used when signing the word "ACTING."
3. ACTION: "ACTION" is a noun that refers to something done or accomplished. While actions are performed, the word itself does not represent a person or thing performing the action. Therefore, the AGENT marker would not be used when signing the word "ACTION."
4. ACTIVITY: "ACTIVITY" is a noun that refers to a specific action or set of actions. Like the word "ACTION," "ACTIVITY" does not represent a person or thing performing the action but rather the actions themselves. Hence, the AGENT marker would not be used when signing the word "ACTIVITY."
In summary, the words "ACTOR" and "ACTING" would use the AGENT marker when signed, while the words "ACTION" and "ACTIVITY" would not.
