Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If someone suffered a stroke which interfered with the ability to speak, we would assume it affected the:
A
temporal lobe
B
parietal lobe
C
association area of the frontal lobe
D
motor area of the frontal lobe
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Speech-language impairments, such as aphasia, are particularly common after left frontal lobe stroke. This is because the left hemisphere of the frontal lobe is usually the language center of the brain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Aphasia is a language disorder that affects your ability to communicate. It’s most often caused by strokes in the left side of the brain that control speech and language.

Detailed explanation-3: -Left Brain If the stroke occurs in the left side of the brain, the right side of the body will be affected, producing some or all of the following: Paralysis on the right side of the body. Speech/language problems. Slow, cautious behavioral style.

Detailed explanation-4: -The frontal lobe, due to its size, is commonly involved in strokes. Most strokes are caused by ischaemic or haemorrhagic involvement of the middle cerebral artery, and clinical manifestations are therefore mainly due to injury to the precentral gyrus (pre-Rolandic area), which is a motor cortex.

Detailed explanation-5: -Someone who has had a stroke may not be able to translate their thoughts into coherent speech, and they may not understand what is being said when other people are speaking. Aphasia can also affect the ability to decipher the written word, and to write, as well.
