Final answer:

The matches would be as follows:

A) Language processing - Left hemisphere

B) Spatial tasks - Right hemisphere

C) Emotional processing - Right hemisphere

D) Motor control - Left hemisphere for right side of body control and Right hemisphere for left side of body control

Step-by-step explanation:

Language processing and motor control for the body's right side are primarily functions of the left hemisphere. Spatial tasks and emotional processing are generally associated with the right hemisphere.

To match each function with the corresponding hemisphere of the brain that is most involved, we consider the concept of lateralization. The left hemisphere is primarily responsible for language processing and certain aspects of motor control, as the left hemisphere controls the right half of the body. Emotional processing and spatial tasks are more in the realm of the right hemisphere, which also controls the left side of the body.

Thus, the correct answer is

  • Left hemisphere: B, C, and D.
  • Right hemisphere: A and D.
