Solution

The examples of signifying acts from the given options are:

  1. "Paul humiliated Anna. She was very angry and started swearing at him." - This is a signifying act because Anna's swearing is a response to Paul's humiliation, signifying her anger and hurt.

  2. "Ariel's father is hospitalized while she is on a business trip. Ariel's friend visits him everyday to take care of him." - This is a signifying act because the friend's daily visits to the hospital signify their concern and care for Ariel's father.

  3. "Ellis missed Harley's concert and later, Ellis called to apologized and proposed to take Harley out to fine dining." - This is a signifying act because Ellis's apology and offer to take Harley out for a meal signify his regret for missing the concert and his desire to make it up to Harley.

The other two scenarios do not involve signifying acts as they are more about personal feelings and actions that do not necessarily communicate or signify something to another person.
