From front to back, the brain is further divided into three parts: the forebrain, the midbrain, and the hindbrain. The forebrain is where most reasoning, thinking, and emotional activity occur. It is also where most memories are stored. The midbrain controls reflexes and process sensory information (sight, touch, taste, etc.) The hind brain processes basic survival functions, like breathing and maintaining heart beat.

Answer 1

The text structure of the passage is:

C) Descriptive/Spatial

Step-by-step explanation:

In descriptive or spatial writing, we organize the information in order of space. For instance, from top to bottom, from the left to the right, etc. In other words, we describe something by the way it looks and by how the space is occupied by it. In the passage we are analyzing here, the author describes the human brain in a spatial manner. First, he/she mentions our brain is divided into two halves. Then, the author explains our brain can also be divided into three parts from front to back. He/She proceeds to describe each one of these parts.
