Read the text, then answer the question that follows: Wild animals as viewed from a mountain camp—Camille Grant, October 2011 Th

rough my binoculars, I viewed a group of wild animals in action. A pride of lions was sleeping when a small, yellow bus pulled up beside them. Tourists on a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can. Armed with cameras, they invaded the lions' territory, hoping to capture the perfect photograph. The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. When the lions moved away, the bus rolled after them, relentlessly stalking the pride. One of the lions turned and roared to protect the young. This was greeted with cheers and a celebratory honk of the bus horn. The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for an hour before moving on. Leaving a cloud of dust, the bus headed away, taking the wild animals off to disturb someone else's home. Review the following line from the text: The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. To create a more negative connotation, the author could have replaced the word crowd with which of the following synonyms? (5 points) Assembly Gathering Group Mob

Answer:

A learning disability.

Explanation:

Jacob has a few symptoms of learning disability: he is much too focused on the task and on his work, ignores the work of others, has no time references. This could mean a learning disability (if taken the example in depth). Mr. Varol could talk to his parents to find out more about Jacob's life and determine if he has, indeed, a disability.
