Which situation reflects a deficiency in reading comprehension?

  1. Difficulty understanding and responding to what has been read

  2. Difficulty in oral reading

  3. Lack of interest in reading

  4. Low scores in spelling tests

The correct answer is: Difficulty understanding and responding to what has been read

The correct answer is A because a deficiency in reading comprehension specifically refers to difficulty understanding and responding to what has been read. This goes beyond just struggling with oral reading or having a lack of interest in reading. Low scores in spelling tests may indicate challenges with spelling, but it is not directly related to reading comprehension.
