Answer 1

In American Sign Language (ASL), family members are often represented using specific fingers on the non-dominant (ND) hand. For siblings, the common practice is to use the index finger to represent the sibling's age in relation to oneself. Since Chris is 19, which is older than Sam (who is 13), she would typically use her ND hand's index finger to represent Chris.

So the answer is the index finger.
