What will happen if Broca’s speech has a lesion?
A
Fluent aphasia
B
Non-fluent aphasia
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Broca aphasia is non-fluent aphasia. The output of spontaneous speech is markedly diminished. There is a loss of normal grammatical structure (agrammatic speech). Specifically, small linking words, conjunctions (and, or, but), and the use of prepositions are lost.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Vascular lesions, especially ischemic strokes, are the most common causes of aphasia.

Detailed explanation-4: -People with Broca’s aphasia have damage that primarily affects the frontal lobe of the brain. They often have right-sided weakness or paralysis of the arm and leg because the frontal lobe is also important for motor movements.
