There are choices for this question namely:

nonverbal
analysis of detail
music an artistic expression
emotional thought and recognition
movement and balance

The correct answer is "analysis of detail". The right brain primarily functions as a adjunct to the left brain's cognitive capabilities. Artistic capabilities, the tone of voice, emotions, etc. are processed in the right brain. Analysis of detail, calculations, problem-solving, etc. are processed in the left brain. Movement and balance, on the other hand, is processed in the cerebellum.

Recent studies disprove the idea of the separation of two hemispheres into two functional categories.
