$\red{\mathbb{ANSWER}}$

Yes!! he/she can survive

✔️In many cases, a stroke can damage the cerebral cortex.

Let us make us clear with an example-

For example, there is a video of a girl named Sarah Scott (you can look her up on youtube) who had a stroke and damaged her left cerebral cortex. She damaged part of the cerebral cortex called Broca's area and a little bit of the surrounding area. The damage wasn't too extensive in that she can still move, feel sensations, and talk. However, she does suffer from Broca's aphasia (difficulty initiating speech). With therapy, she is making progress.
