This is the story Subway Signs
Arturo leaned over in his seat on the subway train to check the map. He counted: Nineteen
stops! Arturo scowled at the view of the dark tunnel outside the window.
Arturo had a cavity and it really hurt. Now he was on the way to see a dentist, but it seemed
like the trip there was going to take forever.
He slumped in the seat and frowned, looking across the subway car to where his mom and
aunt sat talking quietly in Spanish. Another train began to pass on the track next to theirs, its
speed so similar that it looked like it was moving in slow motion. Arturo watched the other
train's windows slowly slide by. He saw a woman strumming a guitar and a father playing
peek-a-boo with his baby.
Then Arturo blinked in surprise. In the next window, a dark-haired girl was looking right at him.
The trains slowed to the same pace and traveled side by side. All at once, the girl made a
face, crossing her eyes and sticking out her tongue. Arturo's frown flipped into a tentative
smile, then a wide grin.
The girl grinned, too, then touched her head and flicked her hand out. It looked almost like a
salute. Arturo saluted back like a sailor.
The girl shook her head and made the movement again. He waved, but she just rolled her
eyes. She made the movement a third time. It wasn't exactly like a salute and it wasn't exactly
like a wave.
A woman who looked like she could be the girl's mom stepped into view and made some
quick hand and finger movements. The little girl replied with the same kind of fast, sure
moves. After that, her mother stepped out of sight again.
Arturo sometimes saw people talk like that on TV. The girl was speaking to her mother in sign
language. Maybe one or both of them are Deaf, he thought.
Oh! Arturo realized. I bet that's the sign for 'hello'!
He tried it more carefully this time. "¡Hola!" he said quietly to himself as he flicked his hand
out from his head. Arturo sometimes spoke in Spanish when he was excited.The girl was watching his sign. She nodded encouragingly with wide eyes, then made another
silly face. Arturo did, too, and they both laughed and continued making funny faces at each
other. He didn't even mind that pulling his face into silly expressions made his tooth ache.
Then, suddenly, the trains burst out of the tunnel into broad daylight, racing away from each
other. In a moment, the windows were too far apart to see into the other train anymore.
Arturo didn't notice how long the rest of the ride took, or how much his tooth was throbbing
along the way. He was too busy thinking.
How do you learn to do that? he wondered. Was she signing in English or Spanish or
something else? Are words in sign language the same all around the world? Or are they as
different as the languages people speak out loud?
Arturo couldn't wait to find out.

Based on the story, the correct answer to "Where is Arturo going?" is A. to see a dentist for a cavity. The text clearly states that he had a cavity that hurt and he was on his way to see a dentist.
