Answer 1

Wernicke's area

Step-by-step explanation:

The Wernicke's area is a part of the brain located in the temporal lobe of the left side of the brain. It is responsible for language development, comprehension of speech and expression.

When this part of the brain is damaged or lesioned, its functions will be impaired. The disorder is called Wernicke's aphasia and the patient will speak in fluent phrases that lack meaning.
