Answer 1

b. showing how to use an object such as a toothbrush.

c. building a house from blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Constructional apraxia is the inability to use common objects properly, or the inability to perform sequential movements while retaining the ability to perform individual movements. People with this type of apraxia not only have difficulty using objects properly, they also have difficulty constructing, displaying, drawing and describing objects. Based on this, we can conclude that, among the options given in the question above, those that represent difficulties for people with this disability are:

• showing how to use an object such as a toothbrush.

• building a house from blocks.
