      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Intellectual disability is not solely determined by an individual's IQ test score. It encompasses various factors such as limitations in adaptive functioning and significant impairments in intellectual functioning. These limitations affect an individual's ability to effectively engage in daily activities and social functioning.

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement "People with intellectual disabilities should not be expected to work in the competitive job market" is false. It is important to promote inclusivity and provide equal opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities to participate in the competitive job market. With appropriate support and accommodations, people with intellectual disabilities can contribute and excel in various job roles, just like any other individual. It is essential to focus on their abilities and provide necessary resources to ensure their successful integration into the workforce.

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Identifying the cause of intellectual disability is not easy in most cases. Intellectual disability can have various causes, including genetic factors, prenatal exposure to toxins or infections, complications during birth, and postnatal factors such as trauma or illness. Determining the exact cause requires a thorough evaluation, including medical history, genetic testing, and assessments of cognitive and adaptive functioning. It can be a complex and challenging process, and in many cases, the cause may remain unknown. Therefore, the statement that it is easy to identify the cause of intellectual disability is incorrect.
