Which profession uses the sign 'Wood + agent'?

Which profession uses the sign 'Wood + agent'?

• A. Engineer
• B. Florist
• C. Carpenter
• D. Musician

Answer: (C)

In ASL, many profession signs show what the person works with plus that they are a person doing that job. The material sign Wood points to someone who works with wood, and adding the sign for an agent/person indicates the worker. Put together, this means a carpenter—someone who builds or shapes with wood. The other professions are associated with different materials or activities (flowers for a florist, music/instruments for a musician, engineering concepts or machines for an engineer), so they don’t fit the Wood plus agent pattern.
