1. Read the paragraph carefully to understand its overall message.
2. Identify the central theme: ASL is a visual language that uses facial expressions, body gestures, and hand movements to communicate.
3. Note that the paragraph emphasizes ASL's structure (grammar, syntax) and its role as a complete, natural language, not just "hand signs."
4. Evaluate the answer choices:
- A focuses only on communication, which is too general.
- B incorrectly calls ASL an "official" language and misrepresents it as "hand signs."
- C accurately reflects the paragraph’s emphasis on facial expressions, body gestures, and hand movements.
- D is incorrect because the paragraph does mention more than one supporting idea.
5. Select C as the correct answer because it best summarizes the main point of the paragraph.
