In ASL, we often use facial expressions in addition to hand signs in order to convey meaning. This is especially true when asking questions. How do you distinguish between asking a yes/no question and a "wh- question" (who, what, where, when, why)?

The correct response is:

what you do with your eyebrows and how your head is tilted is different when asking yes/no questions than when asking "wh- questions."

In ASL, yes/no questions typically involve raised eyebrows and often a slight forward head tilt, while "wh- questions" (like who, what, where, when, why) generally include furrowed brows and a head tilt in the opposite direction.
