Why is it usually easier to read code written in a high-level language than code written in a low-level language?

• High-level languages tend to be written by smarter people

• High-level languages tend to be closer to basic computer code, which makes them easier to translate.

• High-level languages tend to be written for more experienced programmers to use, which implicitly makes them easier to read.

• High-level languages tend to be closer to natural language by utilizing simplified abstractions with descriptive names.
