according to noam chomsky, the ____ is a neurological ability that enables children to analyze language and extract the basic rules of grammar.
○ brocas area
○ linguistic specificity hypothesis
○ language acquisition device
○ brains responsiveness to shaping

Explanation:

• First question:
• Broca's aphasia (also known as expressive aphasia) is characterized by difficulty in speech production while speech comprehension is relatively intact.
• Wernicke's aphasia (receptive aphasia) involves fluent but often meaningless and incomprehensible speech, with impaired language comprehension.
• Second question:
• Noam Chomsky proposed the concept of the language acquisition device (LAD). It is a hypothesized neurological structure that allows children to innately analyze language and extract grammar rules.
• Broca's area is related to speech production. The linguistic specificity hypothesis is not the term Chomsky used for this innate language - learning ability. And "brain's responsiveness to shaping" is not relevant to Chomsky's theory.

Answer:

• First question: Broca's; Wernicke's
• Second question: language acquisition device
