Interindividual differences refer to the unique differences between individuals within a particular group. In this case, the statement that John has problems with math while Ann has problems with reading highlights how these two students have different learning difficulties despite being in the same group of fifth-grade students with learning disabilities. The other statements only highlight individual differences without comparing them to others in the same group.
