Answer 1

ANS: E
Rationale: Broca's aphasia is the difficulty of expressing oneself using language. People with Broca's aphasia may not produce any language output, or they may be able to generate habitual phrases, such as "Hello. How are you?" or make brief meaningful statements and may be able to produce emotional speech (e.g., obscenities, curses) when upset. People with Broca's aphasia are usually aware of their language difficulties and are frustrated by their inability to produce normal language. Writing is usually as impaired as speaking. The ability to understand the spoken language and to read is spared. Motor, expressive, and nonfluent aphasia are synonymous with Broca's aphasia.
