Questions: Question 1 (1 point) The creation of the manual alphabet was attributed to one individual. True False Question 2 (1 point) Approximately how much of today's American Sign Language vocabulary comes from French Sign Language (LSF)? 18% 22% 77% 10% 55%

The answer is False

The manual alphabet, which is a set of hand gestures used to represent the letters of a written alphabet, was not attributed to a single individual. It has evolved over time through contributions from various educators and communities involved in the development of sign languages. The manual alphabet is a component of many sign languages, including American Sign Language (ASL), and has been influenced by different cultures and historical developments.

The answer is 60%

This percentage is too low to represent the influence of French Sign Language (LSF) on American Sign Language (ASL).

This percentage is also too low to accurately reflect the influence of LSF on ASL.

This is the correct answer. A significant portion of ASL vocabulary, approximately 60%, is derived from French Sign Language (LSF). This is due to the historical connection between the two languages, particularly through the work of Laurent Clerc and Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet in the early 19th century.

This percentage is far too low to represent the influence of LSF on ASL.

While this percentage is closer, it is still not as accurate as 60% in representing the influence of LSF on ASL.
