C. Logical
D. Executable
3. Hard disk and tape storage technologies can be classified as ____ storage.
A. Optical
B. Digital
C. Analog

B. Freeware
C. Open source software
D. Public domain software

9. A(n) ____________ converts one instruction at a time while the program is running.
A. compiler
[B. interpreter] -- An interpreter interprets a script -- i.e. translates it from pseudo-english instructions into machine language on the fly. A compiler turns human readable code into machine language once, and the resulting output is run over and over again (the conversion happens once before the program is ever ran).
C. script
D. program
10. A(n) _____ file contains the programs or instructions that tell a computer how to perform
