A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The brain’s left half is primarily responsible for speech and abstract thinking. It also controls the right side of the body. The right side of the brain is responsible for image processing, spatial thinking, and movement in the left side of the body. The left and right sides of the brain connect via nerve fibers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The brain is divided into two parts called hemispheres, the right and the left. The right hemisphere of your brain controls the left side of your body. The left hemisphere of your brain controls the right side of your body. Some functions are controlled by both.

Detailed explanation-3: -The right hemisphere controls the left side of the body, and the left half controls the right side of the body. The two halves communicate with one another through a large, C-shaped structure of white matter and nerve pathways called the corpus callosum.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hemispheres communicate with each other through the corpus callosum which is a bundle of fibers between the hemispheres. Each hemisphere controls muscles and glands on the opposite side of the body (i.e. the right side of the brain or hemisphere controls the left side of the body.)

Detailed explanation-5: -The left side of the brain is concerned with language, number skills, reasoning, scientific skills, spoken language, and right-hand control.
