Answer 1

Answer:
"in spoken English, someone may know you are eavesdropping when they see you listening to their conversation, but in the Deaf community someone may know you are eavesdropping if you are looking in their direction while they are in an ASL conversation."

Explanation: ASL is visual, so looking at people who are signing is how you gain access to their conversation; this visual access makes "eavesdropping" more visible and is often more socially accepted in Deaf culture than in hearing culture.
