A) He would create a list on his hand and point to each finger.
B) He would raise his eyebrows and point at his nephew.
C) He would slide his index finger to show more than one toy.
D) He would use his index finger to point to a toy.

Answer 1

To show the word 'these' in sign language when referring to multiple toys, Marc would slide his index finger to indicate more than one toy, which is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Marc wants to ask his nephew, "Which one of these toys do you want for your birthday?" and the word in bold is these, which indicates a plural reference, the signing action he would use to show the plurality of the toys would be C) He would slide his index finger to show more than one toy. This action is commonly used in sign language to indicate a selection from a group of items. A list on the hand (option A) could also be used, but it is more typical when listing options rather than when referencing a group of items already indicated.

Answer 2

Marc would use option A - creating a list on his hand and pointing to each finger - to indicate multiple toys in American Sign Language when asking his nephew which toy he wants for his birthday. So, the correct answer is option a.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Marc wants to ask his nephew, "Which one of these toys do you want for your birthday?" and needs to sign the word in bold, he would use the signing action described as creating a list on his hand and pointing to each finger, which corresponds to option A.

This action in American Sign Language (ASL) indicates that he is listing multiple options for the nephew to choose from. Since he is referring to multiple toys, he can't just point to one toy or use a singular indication. In ASL, listing is a common way to present options or choices within a question or a statement.
