What is aphasia?

  1. A movement disorder

  2. A memory disorder

  3. Difficulty with language

  4. An arithmetic challenge

The correct answer is: Difficulty with language

Aphasia is a language disorder that affects a person's ability to communicate. This can include difficulty speaking, understanding speech, and reading or writing. While choices A, B, and D may have some impact on communication abilities, they are not specific to aphasia. A movement disorder affects physical movements, a memory disorder affects memory function, and an arithmetic challenge would only impact a person's mathematical abilities. Therefore, these options are incorrect in relation to the definition of aphasia.
