Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pathway for repeating a word heard involves the auditory cortex receiving the sound, which is then processed in Wernicke's area for comprehension. The information is then sent to Broca's area for speech production, and finally, to the primary motor cortex for the movement of the required muscles. This is the correct sequence represented in choice B.
