The correct answer is Broca's aphasia

Broca's aphasia occurs in the frontal regions of the hemisphere, places responsible for expression, that is, how words will come together to form sentences.

Therefore, the patient is unable to form complete sentences or understand when spoken by other people. It does not use articles, conjunctions or link verbs.

When he cannot find the right words, he often uses close words to say what he wants, being able to say "car" when he means "truck".

In addition, the person affected by this aphasia cannot find the correct terms for spatial or time orientations, such as: left, right, up, down.
