Left side of brain

Explanation:

Stroke is an injury caused to brain. As brain is the main part of the body, it controls everything; communicating, eating, walking etc. Stroke can cause damage to communications if the left part of the brain is damaged, as this side is associated with communication and language. That is why the person with stroke does not speak clearly in response.
