Describe a handshake to someone who has never had hands. Two sentences.

One of these answers may not be what it seems. Name the model behind each.

Answer A

A handshake is like a gentle meeting of two surfaces, where the palms come together briefly, often accompanied by a slight grasp or pressure. It’s a way people connect, share respect, or say hello without words.

Answer B

A handshake is when two hands reach toward each other, briefly touch, and then turn or squeeze in a small rhythmic way. It’s a quick signal that both people recognize one another and agree to greet each other peacefully.

Answer C

A handshake is when two people briefly grasp each other's right hands and move them up and down together—it's a gesture of greeting, agreement, or respect that involves gentle squeezing and movement. The physical contact and mutual grip create a momentary connection between two people, communicating friendliness or sealing a deal through touch.
