Detailed explanation-1: -Broca’s area; Wernicke’s area. The correct answer is E. (Broca s area; Wernicke. Broca‘s area is located in the frontal lobe of the dominant (usually left) hemisphere of the brain and is specialized for language production.
Detailed explanation-2: -It involves damage to a part of the brain known as Broca’s area. Broca’s area is responsible for speech production. People with Broca’s dysphasia have extreme difficulty forming words and sentences, and may speak with difficulty or not at all.
Detailed explanation-3: -Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas are cortical areas specialized for production and comprehension, respectively, of human language. Broca’s area is found in the left inferior frontal gyrus and Wernicke’s area is located in the left posterior superior temporal gyrus.
