Wernicke’s area is said to be responsible for speech ____, whereas Broca’s area is involved in speech ____
A
production; comprehension
B
syntax; production
C
comprehension; syntax
D
comprehension; production
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Wernicke’s area and Broca’s area are two areas of the brain that play a part in language. Broca’s area is associated with language production, while Wernicke’s area is associated with language comprehension.

Detailed explanation-2: -Broca’s area, located in the left hemisphere, is associated with speech production and articulation. Our ability to articulate ideas, as well as use words accurately in spoken and written language, has been attributed to this crucial area.

Detailed explanation-3: -This area appears to be uniquely important for the comprehension of speech sounds and is considered to be the receptive language, or language comprehension, centre. Damage to the temporal lobe may result in a language disorder known as Wernicke aphasia.

Detailed explanation-4: -Broca’s area is primarily responsible for language production; damage to this area results in productive aphasia. Wernicke’s area is primarily responsible for language comprehension; damage to this area results in receptive aphasia. The primary auditory cortex identifies pitch and loudness of sounds.
