Wernicke’s . . . frontal

Explanation

The symptoms—fluent but incomprehensible speech and inability to understand spoken or written language—are characteristic of Wernicke’s aphasia. Wernicke’s area is associated with the temporal lobe, and the question describes a lesion in the left temporal lobe. Therefore, the correct choice is “Wernicke’s . . . temporal.”
