Read the following passage to answer question.

 

In order to get access to the inner working of the brain, researchers recruited 12 men and 4 women who were setto undergo surgery for malignant brain tumors. During neurosurgery, researchers attached electrodes to each participant's Broca's area — the part of the brain responsible for speech production - to monitor its activity during a series of tests. Participants were fully conscious during the tests and surgery was performed using local anesthesia.

In the first part of the test, participants read Italian words and phrases out loud while researchers measured both the sound waves of the speech and electrical signals in the  brain. In the second partofthe test, participants silently read the same words and phrases thatthey had just spoken.
An interesting pattern emerged. When reading aloud, patients showed activity in Broca's area that corresponded to the sound frequencies of the words. And when reading silently, their brains also mimicked the sound frequencies of each phrase. Atan anatomical level, then, reading silently is the brain internally speaking to itself.

Visitors to Hawali generally arrive at Honolulu International Airport. Many travel to the hotels and beaches of Waikiki. And there they often remain. But there is much more to Honolulu than beaches and boutique shops. The Hawalian capital is home to a lot of cultural attractions and beautiful scenery.

The birthplace of Barack Obama, Honolulu today mixes the relaxed pace of Pacific Island life with the excitement, commerce - and problems - of a modern American city. Home to almost one million people, the Hawaiian capital still has the feel of a town rather than a metropolis, however. It's expensive - because everything that arrives here is subject to excise taxes. The huge variety of restaurants represent the cultural mix of Honolulu, with many Japanese, Chinese, Thai and other Asian Cuisines. In fact, Native Hawalians and Pacific Islanders are very much minority here.
