Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Today's standards for classifying a child as "gifted" include a high IQ score (typically 130 or above) and demonstrated exceptional abilities in one or more areas, such as academic or creative achievement, leadership skills, or visual or performing arts. Wendy would need both a high IQ score and some special abilities to be accurately classified as "gifted," which is reflected in choice C. Choices A and B are incorrect because they provide incomplete or inaccurate information about the criteria for giftedness. Choice D is partially correct but does not fully capture the current standards for identifying gifted children.
