Question

a) "Fine!"
b) "Good, and you?"
c) "Terrible, I had a bad day."
d) "I'm feeling tired."

Answer 1

In English-speaking cultures, the expected response to 'How are you?' is often 'Fine!', but in Deaf culture, people are more likely to express how they really feel. So, a typical response in Deaf culture could be any of the given options.

Step-by-step explanation:

In English-speaking cultures, when someone asks 'How are you?' the expected response is often 'Fine!' This is considered a polite and socially acceptable answer, even if it doesn't necessarily reflect how the person is truly feeling. However, in Deaf culture, people are more likely to express how they really feel when asked how they are doing. So, a more typical response to 'How are you?' in Deaf culture could be any of the given options - 'Fine!', 'Good, and you?', 'Terrible, I had a bad day.', or 'I'm feeling tired.'
