Which D1 category indicates the person expresses ideas clearly without difficulty?

• A. Understood — The person expresses ideas clearly without difficulty
• B. Usually understood — The person has difficulty finding the right words or finishing thoughts
• C. Often understood — The person has difficulty finding words or finishing thoughts
• D. Sometimes understood — The person has limited ability

Answer: (A)

Clarity of expression is what D1 assesses. When a person is labeled Understood, it means they express ideas clearly without difficulty. The other levels describe increasing trouble—usually understood means occasional word-finding or unfinished thoughts, often understood indicates more frequent difficulty, and sometimes understood suggests a limited ability. So the statement that explicitly says the person expresses ideas clearly without difficulty best captures this level.
