Answer 1

Based on the information and descriptions provided, here are the interpretations for each question:

Question 1: The English word NEW YORK

• The best interpretation of the English word "NEW YORK" seems to be the illustration showing "a man signs a word in two images. In the first image, his left hand has the fingers extended and the palm facing downward in front of the chest. In the second image, the right hand clasps over the top of the left hand," as this sign likely illustrates the concept of a city or specific location.

Question 2: The English word WORLD

• The best interpretation of the English word "WORLD" appears to be "An illustration shows a man placing the dominant flat palm handshape rubs the non-dominant elbow in a circle." This action suggests an encompassing or global gesture, fitting with the meaning of "world."

Question 3: A man makes the dominant 5 handshape close to his ear...

• The sign shown can best be interpreted as "NEW YORK," as movements that are close to the ear often indicate something related to speaking or location, which aligns with the context of a city name.

Question 4: An illustration shows a man placing the dominant flat palm handshape rubs the non-dominant elbow in a circle.

• The best interpretation for this sign would be "WORLD," as it coincides with the interpretation given in Question 2.

Question 5: The side of the dominant S handshape is tapped lightly on the side of the non-dominant flat-palm handshape.

• This gesture, especially considering the movement that follows (sliding down), might relate to "STATE." Tapping and sliding could signify importance or belonging to a specific state.

To summarize:

• Question 1: A man signs a word (left hand, right hand clasps) → NEW YORK.
• Question 2: An illustration with hand rubbing elbow → WORLD.
• Question 3: A man makes 5 handshape to Y handshape → NEW YORK.
• Question 4: An illustration with hand rubbing elbow → WORLD.
• Question 5: Dominant S tapping on flat-palm → STATE.
