Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
The tremors noted with Parkinson's disease produce rhythmic shaking of the hands. Fasciculations are muscle twitches; chorea is the uncontrollable jerking associated with Huntington's disease; athetoid movements are repetitive and slow and are seen with cerebral palsy.

The frontal lobe of the cerebrum is responsible for the control of emotions.
