Answer 1

In American Sign Language (ASL), speakers typically indicate that they are asking a question by **raising or lowering their eyebrows and shrugging their shoulders**. Raising eyebrows often signifies a "yes/no" question, while furrowing the brows is common for "who, what, where, when, why" questions. The other options you mentioned are not standard practices in ASL for indicating questions.
