Answer:

Disorganized thinking

Step-by-step explanation:

Schizophrenia is a psychological disorder that alters the functioning of the brain, causing the individual to have unreal judgments of reality where it is established and begins to develop symptoms such as paranoid thoughts, hallucinations, desogarnized thoughts, abstract and symbolic reasoning, persecution mania, among others. In short, the patient does not discern between what is real and what is not.

The example shown in the question above shows a patient with disorganized thinking that can be perceived by the formation of a random thought, without linearity, complex and meaningless.

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the complete question:

What symptom of schizophrenia is illustrated by the following example? So bees with knees have fleas and fleas jump, I jump like a jack, Jack the Giant Killer. Giants kill and transform things and something happened, but we can’t hear because our eyes are like flies that flew away.

A. Catatonic behavior

B. Disorganized thinking

C. Hallucinations

D. Paranoid delusions

The correct answer to this question is B. Disorganized thinking

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the symptoms of schizophrenia is disorganized thinking, which implies thoughts or ideas are not logically connected or the individual might go from one topic to another, which leads to incoherent statements. This symptom is illustrated in the example because the speaker seems to jump from one topic to the other as in "I jump like a jack, Jack the Giant Killer", also, there are multiple fragments that show incoherence or disconnections in the process of thinking such as " but we can’t hear because our eyes are like flies that flew away". All of this indicates the thinking of this person is not logical or organized, which occurs in disorganized thinking symptom as part of schizophrenia.
