Correct answer: (C) Abstract thinking

Abstract thinking is a strength that slow learners lack, since they reason concretely, so it is not their characteristic.
Limited vocabulary is typical of slow learners due to weaker language development.
A short span of attention marks slow learners, who cannot concentrate for long.
A limited range of interests is common, as they engage with only a few activities.
