Named for a French doctor, the so-called Broca Area in the brain is most closely linked to which of the following human functions?

Broca's area is part of the frontal lobe of the dominant hemisphere in the brain, and it is closely linked to speech. French anatomist Pierre Paul Broca had two patients who had totally lost their ability to speak after they suffered injuries to a specific part of the brain, and since them it's been known as Broca's area.
