Answer 1

I can't see the video — could you upload it or paste a link? If you can't, describe the sign using these features and I can identify which choice fits:

- One- or two-handed?
- Handshape(s) (e.g., flat, fist, "C", index finger, fingerspelled letters)
- Movement (tap, circle, up/down, forward/back, repeated or single)
- Location (in front of chest, near chin, shoulder level, etc.)
- Palm orientation (facing signer, out, down, etc.)
- Any mouth pattern or mouthing (e.g., mouthing "class" or spelling)

Quick hints that help distinguish the options:
- Fingerspelling (distinct letters) usually means the signer is spelling the word (common for specific titles like "vice principal").
- Lexical signs for places (like "classroom" or "office") are often two-handed or show a location/shape.
- Abstract words like "subject" are often signed with a topic/pointing or the sign for TOPIC/RE: or are fingerspelled.

Send the video or a description and I’ll pick the correct option.
