Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Agnes's symptoms of difficulty producing speech in the form of telegraphic sentences are consistent with Broca's aphasia, which is a type of non-fluent aphasia caused by damage to the Broca's area in the brain. This area is responsible for producing speech and language, and damage to it can result in difficulty speaking, forming sentences, and finding the right words to express oneself. People with Broca's aphasia can often understand language well and have intact comprehension, as Agnes does.
