Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery leads to the inability to find words and difficulty with writing. The inability to find words and difficulty with writing are not associated with oc-clusions of the anterior or posterior communicating arteries or the circle of Willis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Agnosia is the failure to recognize the form and nature of objects. Hypomimesis is a disorder of communication. Dysphasia is an impairment of comprehension of language. Echolalia is the abil-ity to repeat.
