MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Fingerspelling (spelling out words letter by letter) is a useful skill, but is a poor substitute for a knowledge of sign language because:
it is slower to communicate letter by letter
fingerspelling does not include grammar rules
it is very difficult to communicate emotion through fingerspelling alone
all of these
Answer explanation
Sign language uses hand movements, facial expressions, and body language to communicate. Fingerspelling is not a language of its own and does not have grammatical structures and syntaxes.
