    with the most appropriate word. Many people assume that music is mediated solely in the right brain. That is not so. It is true that the right brain recognizes chords and melodies and seems to mediate pure and slow tones. _____.

    A However, the left hemisphere is also involved in music Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B As a result of this, the right brain cannot be dominant in listening to music which is not slow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both halves of the brain are involved in our mental activities such as solving a puzzle Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D When words are involved, again the right brain dominates Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The two hemisphere have acted as partners in language and communication Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    However, the left hemisphere is also involved in music. This choice directly follows the idea that the right hemisphere is involved in recognizing melodies and chords, while the left hemisphere is important for processing elements like rhythm and sequencing, especially in fast music. It creates a smooth, logical connection between the two hemispheres' roles in music processing.
