Question 3. The advantage(s) of incorporating the macro processor into pass 1 is/ are:
  1.    many functions do not have to be implemented twice
  2.    Functions are combined and it is not necessary to create intermediate files as output from the macro processor and input to the assembler
  3.    more flexibility is available to the programmer in which he/she may use all the features of the assembler in conjunction with macros
  4.    All of the above
Explanation:-
Answer: Option D. -> All of the above

  2.    indirect mode
  3.    immediate mode
  4.    index mode
Explanation:-
Answer: Option D. -> index mode

Question 5. A self-relocating program is one which
  1.    cannot be made to execute in any area of storage other than the one designated for it at the time of its coding or translation

  3.    can itself perform the relocation of its address-sensitive portions
  4.    All of the above
Explanation:-
Answer: Option C. -> can itself perform the relocation of its address-sensitive portions

Question 6. If special forms are needed for printing the output, the programmer specifies these forms through

Question 9. In analyzing the compilation of PL/I program, the term "Syntax analysis" is associated with
  1.    recognition of basic syntactic constructs through reductions
  2.    recognition of basic elements and creation of uniform symbols
  3.    creation of more optional matrix
  4.    use of macro processor to produce more optimal assembly code
Explanation:-
Answer: Option A. -> recognition of basic syntactic constructs through reductions

Question 10. Terminal Table
  1.    a permanent table which lists all key words and special symbols of the language in symbolic form
  2.    a permanent table of decision rules in the form of patterns for matching with the uniform symbol table to discover syntactic structure
  3.    consists of a full or partial list of the tokens as they appear in the program. Created by Lexical analysis and used for syntax analysis and interpretation
  4.    contains all constants in the program
Explanation:-
Answer: Option A. -> a permanent table which lists all key words and special symbols of the language in symbolic form
