Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Global aphasia is the most common and severe form of aphasia. Spontaneous speech is absent or reduced to a few stereotyped words or sounds, and prognosis for language recovery is poor. Dysphonic aphasia is not a valid condition.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Clanging is word choice based on sound, not meaning, and includes nonsense rhymes and puns.
