Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Aphasia is caused by damage to the language-dominant side of the brain, usually the left side, and may be brought on by: Stroke.
Detailed explanation-3: -Broca’s area is a key component of a complex speech network, interacting with the flow of sensory information from the temporal cortex, devising a plan for speaking and passing that plan along to the motor cortex, which controls the movements of the mouth.
