Answer

C. Slurred SpeechThe FAST test is a quick way to check for signs of a stroke. FAST stands for **Facial drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulties, and Time to call emergency services.** While a stroke can sometimes cause issues with smiling, and very rarely cause problems with swallowing (which might manifest as difficulty with a 'stroke' in the sense of a swallowing motion), the 'S' specifically refers to **Speech difficulties**, often presenting as slurred speech.
