The correct choice is:
**Because this would require interpreting a visual language to a verbal language.**
ASL poetry relies heavily on visual, spatial, and gestural elements that do not have direct counterparts in English. This makes translation particularly challenging as the nuances of meaning, rhythm, and visual imagery can be difficult to convey in a spoken or written format.
