Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
Inclusive education removes barriers so that learners with disabilities participate in the same classroom with equitable access.
A reasonable classroom accommodation changes access, presentation, seating, or pace according to the learner’s needs without excluding the learner from shared instruction.
Application
The approach that arranges front-row seating and uses a pace convenient for the student changes both physical access and instructional delivery while retaining participation in the common class.
Contrast
Withholding additional support leaves the access barrier unchanged.
Sympathy expresses concern but does not by itself specify an instructional accommodation.
Treating disability as destiny removes teacher agency and leaves classroom barriers unaddressed.
Adjusting seating and pace supplies concrete, need-based classroom accommodations.
Cross-check
This choice is consistent with the inclusive-education principle of reasonable accommodation and individualized support in a shared learning environment.
Therefore, the suitable classroom approach is to arrange a front-row seat and teach at a pace convenient for the student.
