Which of the following would not be an example of a physical disability

1. Poor vision

2. Nerve damage

3. Dyslexia

4. Poor English language skills

The correct answer is: Poor English language skills

Poor English language skills is not a physical disability. A physical disability refers to a physical condition that restricts the individual's mobility, physical capacity, stamina, or dexterity. These can include certain neurological conditions, mobility impairment, or an impairment or loss of physical functioning - such as sight or hearing loss. Poor English language skills, however, fall under the category of language or communication barriers rather than a physical disability. This is more about one's proficiency in a language, which can be improved with proper language education or practice. On the other hand, dyslexia, poor vision and nerve damage all have a physical origin, such as an issue with the brain or nervous system, or a malfunction in the eye's ability to see, making them physical disabilities.
