Difficulty: Hard
About this MCQ
This Hard Computer Architecture MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “The following statement describes a specific concept. What is it called? a technique used in an instruction to specify how the operand's memory address is determined.”
The accepted answer is C. Addressing mode. The following statement describes a specific concept What is it called a technique used in an instruction to specify how the operand's memory address is determined is answered by Addressing mode option C Option A Memory-mapped I O does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Addressing mode Option B Flynn's taxonomy does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Addressing mode Remaining alternatives Program counter fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Addressing mode is identified Computer Architecture questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations Computer Architecture recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC PPSC.
