"He had a stroke and had difficulty moving the right side of his body. The left brain has been affected. Twelve months later, after extensive occupational therapy and physiotherapy, Juan's father was showing great improvement. Explain the processes that were occurring within Juan's father's brain during his recovery."

This looks like a neuroplasticity question to me.
In the old study design this type of question was probably more common and you would be expected to understand that this was an instance of
adaptive plasticity. (In the current study design you do not need to distinguish between developmental and adaptive plasticity.)
In units 1&2 you would be expected to understand that components of the right hemisphere have taken on the responsibilities from the left hemisphere in an instance of neuroplasticity, where neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to adapt and change.
In units 3&4 you would not be expected to distinguish between the left and right hemispheres' respective roles
