d) C-like

e) numerical

f) None of the above

1. 2 RISC-V follows the ____ CPU design strategy. # I think (b) or (a)

a) CISC

b) RISC

c) SISC

d) DISC

e) None of the above

1. 3 Which of the following is true of the RISC philosophy? Select all that apply. # I think (a), (c) and (d)

a) RISC stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computing

b) RISC encourages the instruction set to be large and expansive

c) In RISC, a simple instruction set helps to build faster hardware

d) In RISC, complicated operations can be performed by composing simple instructions

e) None of the above

1. 4 Which of the following is False about a processor register?

a) A register is a small location of RAM memory.

b) A register has access speed comparable to a hard drive.

c) Registers comprise most of a computer's storage space.

d) A computer typically has thousands of registers.

e) A register is a small amount of storage directly on the CPU.

f) None of the above

1. 5.1. RISC-V has __#__ integer registers.

maybe 8????

1.5.2. For the RISC-V we learn in this class, a register can hold __#__ bytes.

4 bytes or 32 bits????

NOTE: I can't test those answers one at a time, as this is a single question, so if you have multiple guesses for answer combinations, please specify which those are.
