Detailed explanation-1: -Damage to Broca’s area, a small region located in the frontal lobe, can lead to a speech disorder known as Broca’s aphasia or expressive aphasia. Individuals with Broca’s aphasia have difficulty forming words and producing speech but do not struggle with comprehension.

Detailed explanation-2: -People with Broca’s aphasia may understand speech and know what they want to say, but they frequently speak in short phrases that are produced with great effort. They often omit small words, such as “is, ” “and” and “the."

Detailed explanation-3: -Individuals with this type of aphasia may be able to read but be limited in writing. Broca’s aphasia results from injury to speech and language brain areas such the left hemisphere inferior frontal gyrus, among others.
