If you were creating Frankenstein's monster and you found that there were no "whole" brains that could be used, only parts of various brains, what 5 "parts" of the brain would you include? you Why would you choose these parts rather than others.

Prefrontal cortex, visual cortex, auditory cortex, motor cortex, and sensory cortex. That covers basic senses, motor control, and reasoning skills. I would deliberately avoid the amygdala, which controls fear, and hope the creature's reasoning skills would compensate.

Actually, the original Dr Frankenstein in the book didn't reuse human brains at all--he was a chemist, and he created life from scratch through chemical processes. But, given the ground rules of your questions, and no real definition of what constitutes a part, I would have to say that all of the 9 functions listed below are pretty much essential:
1) gross motor skills (walking, etc)
2) fine motor skills (manipulating a pencil, setting a watch, etc)
3) memory
4) compassion
5) communication (written and spoken language)
6) emotion
7) logic
8) learning
9) appreciation for beauty

I would just substitute a natural sponge. Brains are not much use anyhow.
