Answer

Yes you can use contains but i think that you may have mistyped difficult. 😊

Answer

Yes !
But I think you made a mistake about " difficult ".

Answer

'Contains' in this context is not natural sounding English, though it is comprehensible. A better alternative that is more natural when referring to a group of people - such as a class - would be 'is made up of'; 'consists of'; 'includes'; 'comprises' or 'is comprised of'.
