    { 1 } - coma
    { 2 } - locked in state
    { 3 } - persistent vegetative state (PVS)

2 is wrong. Please try again.

patients show signs of arousal and may grimace or make other reflex movements, but show no signs of awareness or response to communication

    { 1 } - coma
    { 2 } - locked in state
    { 3 } - persistent vegetative state (PVS)

patients have at least some periods of conscious awareness and can respond to others at least by eye movements, but are otherwise paralyzed and unable to speak <=> locked in state
