Hi! This question is missing its options, so I went online to find them and I did. The complete question with its options is:

Which best describes how the brain processes language?

1. Wernicke's area is involved in hearing; Broca's area is used for speech.

2. Until children develop the facial muscles used for speaking, they are unable to communicate.

3. A single "Communication Center" handles both verbal and nonverbal language. ​

Answer:

The correct answer is option 1) Wernicke's area is involved in hearing; Broca's area is used for speech.

Step-by-step explanation:

Language is an ability unique to humans that helps us understand each other and communicate our thoughts and feelings with our pairs.

There are two areas involved in language processing: Wernicke's area manages hearing and Broca's area is involved in speech.

Wernicke's area is located in the temporal lobe in the dominant cerebral hemisphere, more specifically in Brodmann area 22. It is responsible for language comprehension, whether it's spoken or written.

Broca's area is located in the frontal lobe of the dominant cerebral hemisphere, it occupies the pars opercularis and the pars triangularis, which correspond to Brodmann areas 44 and 45. Broca's area is linked to the production of language.
