Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The area of the brain involved with verbal language function, including areas for both receptive and expressive speech, is the left hemisphere. The right hemisphere provides input into receptive nonverbal communication, spatial orientation, and recognition. The parietal lobe is involved with coordinating visual and somatosensory information. The occipital lobe is primarily involved with vision.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The frontal lobe also contains Broca's area, which controls the motor function of speech. Damage to Broca's area produces expressive aphasia, or difficulty with the motor movements of speech. The postcentral gyrus, immediately behind the central sulcus, contains the primary somatosensory area. The basal ganglia are involved with motor functions and are associated with the learning and programming of behaviors/activities that are repetitive and that, done over time, become automatic. The hippocampus is involved in storing information, especially the emotions attached to a memory.
