Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Although the vast majority of people (about 97 percent) have left-hemisphere dominance for language, a small percentage of left-handed individuals (about 19 percent) and an even smaller percentage of right-handed individuals (about 3 percent) have right-hemisphere dominance for language. Therefore, neither A nor B is entirely correct, and D is incorrect as well.
