Yes/No questions in sign language are typically formed by...

• A. Raise your eyebrows, lean your head forward, hold your last sign in the sentence
• B. Nodding rapidly
• C. Tilting your head and whispering
• D. Waving the hands

Answer: (A)

In sign language, yes/no questions are shown primarily through nonmanual signals rather than the signs themselves. Raising the eyebrows communicates that a question is being asked, and a slight forward head tilt reinforces that a response is expected. Signers often hold the last sign in the sentence to mark the boundary of the question, helping the listener recognize it as a yes/no query.

Rapid nodding tends to function as a response or agreement rather than as the way to form the question itself. Tilting the head and whispering isn’t part of signing practice, since signing relies on visible facial expressions and head positions rather than whispered speech. Waving the hands isn’t the grammatical cue for yes/no questions either; it doesn’t convey the question status in the same way the facial and head markers do.
