CA limited range of interests
DA limited vocabulary
Correct answer: (A) Abstract thinking — Abstract thinking is not a characteristic of a slow learner, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Abstract thinking is not a characteristic of a slow learner, so that is the answer.
★A slow learner grasps ideas slowly and finds abstract, general thinking difficult.
★So the capacity for abstract thinking is exactly what such a learner lacks.
★A short span of attention is typical, since the slow learner cannot concentrate long.
★A limited range of interests is typical, as his curiosity is narrow.
★A limited vocabulary is typical, since language develops slowly, so only abstract thinking does not belong to the slow learner.
