Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Broca's and Wernicke's areas are both located in the left hemisphere of the brain, with Broca's in the frontal lobe and Wernicke's in the parieto-temporal lobe. The distinction between these two areas is that Broca's area is involved in the production of language, while Wernicke's area is involved in the comprehension of language. Therefore, the best choice is C, which describes the location of these two areas in the brain. Choice A (receptive vs. expressive) is a common way of describing the differences between these areas, but it is not as specific to their brain locations. Choice B (left vs. right) is inaccurate, as both areas are located in the left hemisphere. Choice D (all of the above) is incorrect because it includes choice B, which is inaccurate.
