For a student to be identified as having intellectual disabilities, the following conditions must typically be present:

1. **Significant limitations in adaptive behavior** - This refers to challenges in everyday functioning, including skills necessary for self-sufficiency and independence.

2. **An inability to learn that cannot be explained by other factors** - This means that the student's learning challenges should not be due to other disabilities, lack of educational opportunities, or other external factors.

So, if you're looking for the most accurate conditions for identifying intellectual disabilities from the options provided, the answer would be:

- **Significant limitations in adaptive behavior**
- **An inability to learn that cannot be explained by other factors**

Both of these are key components in the identification process of intellectual disabilities according to educational and psychological guidelines. The other options (imperfect ability to speak or read and an intermittent pattern of learning problems) do not directly align with the criteria used for this diagnosis.
