Why are interpreted languages generally slower than compiled languages?

They translate code into machine language as it runs.

They require more storage space.

They are written in older programming languages.

A student is confused about the difference between interpreted and compiled languages. Which analogy best helps explain the difference?

Someone speaking in a foreign language with an interpreter repeating in your language.

A chef following a recipe from memory versus reading it step by step.

A computer storing files versus deleting files.

Given the following HTML code snippet, what is its purpose?

To display "Hello World!" as the page title and link a stylesheet for styling

To perform calculations on a webpage

To execute a script on the server

To create a database connection

What is the purpose of the tag in an HTML document?

To interpret the document as HTML

Which of the following best describes assembly language?

A human-readable, low-level programming language that interacts directly with hardware

A high-level programming language that is easy to use

A markup language for creating web pages

A language used only for creating hyperlinks

Why is code written in assembly language generally more efficient than code written in higher-level languages?

It allows direct access to hardware and is specific to the processor

It is easier to write and understand

It is interpreted by a web browser

Explain one challenge and one benefit of using assembly language for programming.

Challenge: It is hard to write and use; Benefit: It allows direct memory access

Challenge: It is interpreted by browsers; Benefit: It is easy to learn

Challenge: It is only used for web pages; Benefit: It creates hyperlinks

Challenge: It is not related to hardware; Benefit: It is high-level

Which of the following is an example of a query language used to get information from databases?

Structured Query Language (SQL)

HyperText Markup Language (HTML)

What is the main purpose of using a query language like SQL?

To get specific information from databases

To create graphics for websites

When you type a search term and press enter on a website like IMDb, what does the computer do with your input?

It translates your input into a query language and searches the database

It sends your input to a graphic designer

Why are programming languages easier for humans to use than machine language or binary code?

Programming languages are designed to be more understandable for humans

Programming languages are only used for hardware

Programming languages are written in binary

Programming languages are physical components of a computer
