Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tim's inability to understand the request and identify the correct picture suggests he has a problem with receiving and processing language (receptive aphasia) rather than producing language (expressive aphasia). Fluent aphasia is characterized by the ability to produce language that lacks meaning or coherence, which is not evident in this scenario. Broca's and Gage's aphasia are both types of expressive aphasia, which is not applicable to this scenario.
