Thank you!!
Your first two answers are correct.
When a child blacks out for a few seconds, it's probably a petit mal seizure. Number 4 is correct.
Labeling a child at a young age is often counterproductive. Children with learning disabilities vary a great deal. One of my best history students with abover-average reading ability had a learning disability in math.
Number 6 is correct.
Recheck #3 and 5 - I would question those answers.
The rest look fine.
Let's go over the questions again to verify the answers:
3. If a child seems to "black out" for a moment or two, he or she may have experienced:
A. a grand mal seizure
B. epilepsy
C. a petit mal seizure
D. convulsions
The correct answer is C. a petit mal seizure. Petit mal seizures, also known as absence seizures, are a type of seizure characterized by a brief loss of consciousness or awareness. During these seizures, the child may appear to be staring into space or seem temporarily disconnected from their surroundings.
5. Children with learning disabilities:
A. can never learn
B. vary a great deal
C. are bilingual
D. should be labeled at an early age.
The correct answer is B. vary a great deal. Children with learning disabilities can have a wide range of strengths and weaknesses in different areas of learning. It is important to recognize that learning disabilities do not mean that a child cannot learn; they simply require different teaching strategies and support to accommodate their specific needs.
I hope this helps clarify the correct answers. Let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with!
