Wernicke's area, located in the left temporal lobe, is responsible for comprehension and understanding of language. Damage to this area can result in difficulty understanding and producing coherent language. This is consistent with Rahul's grandfather's symptoms of the inability to understand questions and producing sentences with individual words that do not make sense in context.
