Concept:Moderate mental retardation (IQ 35–50) means individuals can learn self‑help and vocational skills under supervision.
Explanation:Children with moderate retardation can be taught functional academics and daily living skills.
They are called “trainable” because they can work in unskilled or semi‑skilled jobs with guidance.
They develop the intellectual ability of a 7‑ or 8‑year‑old.
They learn to talk and care for themselves, but cannot live independently.
About 10% of mentally retarded persons fall in this category.
Thus, “moderate mentally retarded” is the same as “trainable mentally retarded”.
Answer:A. Trainable mentally retarded
