Read the following passage and then choose the best answer

Deaf people cannot hear sounds. How do they ‘hear’ words and talk? Deaf people use American Sign Language (ASL). They talk with their hands. Sometimes two deaf people ‘talk’ to each other. They both use ASL. Sometimes a person who can hear interprets for deaf people. The person listens to someone talking, and then he or she makes hand signs.

There are two kinds of sign language. One kind has a sign for every letter in the alphabet. The person speels every word. This is finger spelling. The other sign has a sign for every word. Ther are about 5,000 of these signs. They are signs for verbs, things, and ideas. Some of the signs are very easy, for example, eat, milk, and house. You can see  what they mean. Others are more difficult, for example, star, egg or week. People from any country can learn ASL. They use signs, not words, so they can understand people from other countries. ASL is almost like a dance. The whole body ‘ talks’. American Sign Language is a ‘ beautiful’ language.
