Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Reading tends to follow auditory comprehension ability, typically impaired. The lesions responsible for Wernicke’s aphasia are typically in the middle to posterior temporal lobe, particularly the superior gyrus, but frequently the middle temporal gyrus as well.
Detailed explanation-2: -Damage to the temporal lobe of the brain may result in Wernicke’s aphasia (see figure), the most common type of fluent aphasia. People with Wernicke’s aphasia may speak in long, complete sentences that have no meaning, adding unnecessary words and even creating made-up words.
