  • A.an autistic student.
  • B.a creative student.
  • C.a student with learning disability.
  • D.a student with 'mental impairment'.

Answer: C

These signs indicate a student with learning disability.

Anxiety around reading, difficulty recognising words or letters, poor vocabulary, and difficulty understanding or remembering what was read are typical signs of dyslexia, a specific learning disability in reading. It occurs in children of average or above-average intelligence and is not due to poor teaching or lack of effort.

Autism is marked mainly by difficulties in social communication and restricted, repetitive behaviour, not by reading problems specifically. Creativity is not shown by reading difficulty. An intellectual ('mental') impairment involves general limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour, not a reading-specific difficulty.
