The state of consciousness where a person makes some deliberate movements and attempts to communicate is:

Minimally conscious state.

So, let us define what minimal conscious state means. From the above explaination on consciousness we can deduce that consciousness is the act of awareness of what ones immediate environment is. Minimal from the word ''minimum'' that is small degree or amount of something, so, let us put the the two words together; ''minimal'' and '' conscious', then we have that Minimally conscious state is state of small amount of awareness of the surroundings. And this explains what is given in the question.
