Question

You have just gotten your grade for your practical exam on color words in ASL during which you had to sign various color words in front of your teacher. You could receive two possible points for each word: one for the correct handshape and one for the correct movement. Next to the word "green" you see that you got 1 out of 2 possible points. You know that you created the correct handshape, so you must have gotten the movement wrong. What should the movement have looked like to get full credit on that question?

a) A circular movement
b) A back-and-forth shaking movement
c) No movement is required for the sign "green."
d) A diagonal movement from left to right.

Answer 1

The movement for the sign "green" in ASL does not require any movement at all.

Step-by-step explanation:

The movement for the sign "green" in American Sign Language (ASL) does not require any movement at all. So, the correct answer is c) No movement is required for the sign "green." When signing the word "green," you only need to create the correct handshape, which is an open hand with all fingers extended and touching each other.
