Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Broca’s aphasia (non-fluent aphasia) The features of Broca’s aphasia are: Severely reduced speech, often limited to short utterances of less than four words. Limited vocabulary. Clumsy formation of sounds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fluent aphasia refers to deficits related to comprehension and is usually associated with Wernicke’s brain area pathologies. In contrast, nonfluent aphasias produce a failure in language expression, written or verbal, and are often associated with pathologies in Broca’s brain area.

Detailed explanation-3: -People with Wernicke’s aphasia are often unaware of their spoken mistakes. Another hallmark of this type of aphasia is difficulty understanding speech. The most common type of nonfluent aphasia is Broca’s aphasia (see figure). People with Broca’s aphasia have damage that primarily affects the frontal lobe of the brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Broca aphasia is non-fluent aphasia. The output of spontaneous speech is markedly diminished. There is a loss of normal grammatical structure (agrammatic speech). Specifically, small linking words, conjunctions (and, or, but), and the use of prepositions are lost.
