Verified step by step guidance

Begin by identifying the primary functions of Wernicke's area and Broca's area. Wernicke's area is primarily involved in the comprehension of language, while Broca's area is responsible for speech production.

Next, consider the location of these areas in the brain. Wernicke's area is typically located in the posterior part of the left temporal lobe, whereas Broca's area is found in the frontal lobe, specifically in the left hemisphere.

Evaluate the options given in the problem. The first option, 'Both are responsible for motor control,' is incorrect because motor control is primarily associated with Broca's area, not Wernicke's area.

The second option, 'Both are part of the limbic system,' is incorrect because neither Wernicke's area nor Broca's area is part of the limbic system, which is involved in emotion and memory.

The fourth option, 'Both are located in the occipital lobe,' is incorrect because the occipital lobe is primarily associated with visual processing, not language. Therefore, the correct similarity is that both areas are involved in language processing.
