Here are the selected answers along with explanations:

Question 1

Selected Answer: true
Explanation: Combining a sign with the sign for AGENT indeed indicates a person who does a job or occupation. For instance, the sign for "TEACHER" can combine "TEACH" and "AGENT" to represent a person who teaches.

Question 2

Selected Answer: before the sign for a job
Explanation: In American Sign Language (ASL), the sign for AGENT is typically added before the sign for the job, as in "TEACHER" (TEACH + AGENT). So, you would sign "TEACH" and then add "AGENT" in front of it to specify the role of a teacher.

Question 3

Selected Answer: AGENT
Explanation: The description of the sign involves two hands at chest height and moving downward, which matches the sign for AGENT. The AGENT sign in ASL typically uses both hands.

Question 4

Selected Answer: AGENT
Explanation: The same animated sign is described in both Questions 3 and 4, leading me to confidently select AGENT again based on the motion and positioning of the hands.
