Bill was admitted to the hospital last week after he fell. when bill's son visited, he found that his father was unable to get words out in a smooth, connected fashion. if bill's difficulty speaking is due to brain damage, what is the likely location of the damage

The correct answer would be, Broca. If Bill's difficulty speaking is due to his brain damage then the most likely location of the damage will be Broca.

Explanation:

A human body has a complex structure. All actions are generated through brain. A Human Brain control all functions of the human body. Movement, Speech, Touch, taste, everything is controlled by different parts of the human brain. If a person is having trouble in speaking, it is most likely that the his Broca's area of the brain has damaged which is causing him difficulty in uttering words or sentences properly.

Broca is located in the lower portion of the left frontal lobe and is found in the forebrain division of the brain. Broca is responsible for controlling the motor functions which involve speech production and and language comprehension.

So Bill's Broca's area is damaged most probably.

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
