Solution

The correct statement is: "The brain has two hemispheres, and each hemisphere is divided into four lobes."

Here's why:

  1. The brain is indeed divided into two hemispheres, and each hemisphere is further divided into four main lobes: the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and temporal lobe.

  2. Speech and grammar are generally associated with the left hemisphere of the brain, not the right. This is especially true for right-handed individuals.

  3. Humor and the use of metaphors are not solely dependent on the left hemisphere of the brain. Both hemispheres of the brain are involved in processing humor and metaphors.

  4. The forebrain is not the portion nearest to the spinal cord. The hindbrain, which includes structures such as the medulla and the cerebellum, is the portion of the brain closest to the spinal cord.
