Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Sally’s injury would lie in an area of the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex called Broca’s area. It is normally found on the left side of the brain. This area is responsible for producing motor speech.
Detailed explanation-2: -The brain is like any other body tissue when it gets injured: it fills with fluid and swells. Because of the hard skull around it, however, the brain has nowhere to expand as it swells. This swelling increases pressure inside the head (intracranial pressure), which can cause further injury to the brain.
