Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together a problem in the we Nicky's area may lead to which of the following is it? Answer choice. A difficulty forming grammatically correct sentences. Answer choice B, difficulty in remembering important events. Answer choice C difficulty in sleeping at night or answer choice D difficulty in producing a coherent and meaningful speech. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices best explains the result of a problem in the we Nicky's area. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about where Nikki's area and what a problem in where Nikki's area would result in. And we can recall that Nikki's area which is located in the left temporal lobe is associated with language comprehension and a problem in this area or damage to this area usually results in were Nikki's Aphasia which were Nicki's aphasia is a condition that involves the difficulty to produce coherent and meaningful speech. So looking at our answer choices, we can identify answer choice D which says difficulty in producing a coherent and meaningful speech is the correct answer and all other answer choices are incorrect. Since answer choices A B and C would not be the result of a problem in we Nicky's area. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
