Which profession uses the sign 'Wood + agent'?

• A. Florist
• B. Carpenter
• C. Teacher
• D. Student

Answer: (B)

In ASL, many occupations are formed by pairing a sign for a material or tool with a sign that means “person who does,” so the overall sign points to the job of someone who works with that material. When you see wood combined with the sign for an agent/worker, it signals someone whose work is with wood—i.e., a carpenter. The other options don’t involve wood or the idea of a wood-based trade (a florist signs around flowers, a teacher around teaching, a student around studying), so they don’t fit the same pattern.
