Question

At eight o’clock on a Saturday night in Las Vegas, Mario was waiting in the big hall and heard the crowd cheer when his name was announced. He walked down the aisle, climbed into the ring, and raised his gloved hands t.o greet the crown. For about two hours of his time, Mario was going to be paid five million dollars. Mario had earned a reputation as being fast and strong and was likely to be the next heavy-weight- boxing champion. In the first two rounds, his punches matched his reputation. In the middle of the third round, Mario caught an unexpected vicious punch that snapped his head back. Before he knew what hit him, Mario was lying on the mat, unconscious. Mario never regained consciousness and remained in a coma. Now, many months later, Mario's chances of coming out of the coma are very small because one part of his brain was damaged by the knockout punch. 1. What part of Mario's brain did the knockout punch damage? 2. What is the function of this brain part? 3. Where is it located?

Answer 1

1. The knockout punch damaged one part of Mario's brain.

2. The specific brain part affected by the damage is not mentioned in the given passage. Therefore, we cannot determine its function or identify it without further information.

3. Similarly, the exact location of the brain part is not specified in the passage, so we cannot determine where it is located without additional details.
