Which of the following is listed as a sign of learning disabilities?

• A. Difficulty listening well
• B. Difficulty with basic algebra
• C. Good listening skills
• D. Excellent handwriting

Answer: (A)

Difficulty listening well reflects how learning disabilities can involve trouble with processing information received verbally. When a student struggles to attend to or understand spoken instructions, follow oral directions, or grasp information presented through talk, it points to an auditory or language-processing challenge that is commonly seen in learning disabilities. The other options don’t fit as general signs: difficulty with algebra can indicate a math-specific issue rather than a broad indicator of a learning disability; good listening skills and excellent handwriting are strengths, not signs. So, the ability to listen poorly is the best match for a listed sign of learning disabilities.
