Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wernicke's aphasia is characterized by impairment to the comprehension and production of language, resulting in speech that may have little understandable content.

Answer: D
 Individuals with Wernicke's aphasia often struggle to find the right word and their speech may sound strained or jumbled as a result. While they may have proper grammar, the content may be difficult to follow. Function words such as "the" and "but" may still be included in their speech.
