Agrammatism refers to difficulty with grammar and sentence structure, which is seen in Broca's aphasia. Telegraphic speech, on the other hand, refers to speech that is limited to short, simple phrases and is seen in both Wernicke's and Broca's aphasia. Since Clive's difficulty is specifically related to grammar, D is the best choice.
