With weakness resulting from lesions rostral to the nucleus of the facial nerve in the pons ("supranuclear"), there is a tendency for the forehead muscles to be uninvolved.With LMN all the Upper and Lower part of the face is Involved,I meant Facial UMN then.

cranial nerve nuclei receives umn's bilaterally from both the cortices ,except for facial nerve nuclei [innervating lower half of the face] which receives only from contralateral side.
because of the bilateral innervation ,lesions involving corticobulbar tract will not affect any of the cranial nerves except for those facial nerve nuclei tht is innervating lower half of the face! {on the contralateral side}
I got this from the forum best explanation

Sorry people! Number 1 the answer is "c" according to my Adams and Victor's the characteristic abnormality seen in huntingtons is "gross atrophy of the head of the caudate and putamen" which results in "the ventricles being diffusely enlarged" this is because the caudate which usually buldges out into the CT is atrophied thus giving the appearance of enlarged ventricles.
