Answer 1

The option that is true about signing the names of the months in ASL is:

D. If the month's name is longer than five letters, you spell out the first three letters.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the US, as well as in parts of Mexico and Canada, American Sign Language is the main sign language of Deaf communities. When it comes to signing months, a simple rule is kept: if the name of the month has more than five letters, instead of spelling it all, only the first three letters are spelled. However, there is one exception to that rule: September. For this month, the first four letters are spelled.
