B. High-frequency first formant (F1)
C. Low-frequency first formant (F1)
D. Low-frequency second formant (F2) Correct Ans - Option (C)
is correct. The F1 is inversely associated with tongue height, such
that high vowels tend to have low F1 frequencies.
A 65-year-old patient is transferred from another facility with a
diagnosis of aphasia. The patient's symptoms, however, appear
more consistent with apraxia. Which of the following tasks for

length B.Recalling three common
items C.Performing voluntary oral
movements

motion B.Lower extremity
strength C.Trunk stability
and control
D.Fine motor dexterity Correct Ans - Option (C) is correct.

A school-based SLP wants to discharge a fifth-grade student. The
student has mastered all his goals except /r/forward slash r
forward slash in conversational speech. The SLP worked with the

established goal, the SLP feels the student performs at his highest
possible level. The SLP does not think it is in the student's best
interest to continue pulling the student out of class to address the
goal. The parents are upset and are questioning the SLP's decision.
