Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The two types of aphasia are sensory (or receptive)and motor (or expressive).The patient cannot express herself in words and is showing signs of expressive aphasia.She responds correctly to questions and instructions,indicating that she does not have receptive or sensory aphasia.Patients sometimes suffer a combination of receptive and expressive aphasia,but this is not the case here.
