ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS

---

A) No neurological problem here.

This answer is incorrect.

The patient has a neurological problem (hemiparesis, likely to his left-side). He is able to move his eyebrows, indicating this is likely a stroke. Given that he is able to speak coherently, it is likely the stroke is in the right hemisphere, not left, since language areas usually border the lateral sulcus on the left hemisphere.   (See References)
