Which of the following is most likely to be a function of the left hemisphere?

A	processing spoken language
B	evaluating perceptual tasks
C	making inferences
D	identifying emotion in other people’s faces
E	identifying one’s sense of self

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Language is considered to be one of the most lateralized human brain functions. Left hemisphere dominance for language has been consistently confirmed in clinical and experimental settings and constitutes one of the main axioms of neurology and neuroscience.

Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. Neuropsychological evidence indicates that the global aspect of complex visual scenes is preferentially processed by the right hemisphere, and local aspects are preferentially processed by the left hemisphere.
