  • A. language comprehension.
  • B. memory.
  • C. emotion.
  • D. motor skills.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The temporal lobes have many functions, but motor skills are not associated with this area. The temporal lobes contain Wernicke's area, which is responsible for language comprehension, choice (A). The temporal lobes also function in emotion and memory, choices (B) and (C), because they contain the amygdala and hippocampus.
