With which one is she least likely to have difficulty?
 
  a. Distinguishing between similar-looking letters (e.g., b vs. d)
  b. Understanding common idioms (e.g., I have money to burn)
  c. Knowing irregular verb forms (e.g., went is the past tense of go)
  d. Learning letter-sound relationships (e.g., b makes a buh sound)
