Please help with the following in regards to Nand2Tetris, and hack code, so hack assembly and hack vm. There can be more that one answer to a question if so please explain why. 1a. The A-instruction in the Hack computer performs a. direct addressing. b. immediate addressing. c. indirect addressing. d. bitwise addressing. 1b. Each memory address in the Hack computer references a. a single byte. b. a single word. c. multiple words. d. the D-register 1c. Given the following assembly code: (FOO) @FOO 0;JMP The purpose of the code is to : a. test of the value is = = 0 NO-OP b. jump to address 0 in RAM c. return a 0 to the calling code d. create an endless loop e. end the assembly language program 1d. Given a function called foo() that calls another external function bar() which in turn calls a second function called additup(). Indicate the VM line of code indicating the location in the program that control should be return to: a.@Foo.$bar. b. @Foo$bar$additup.ret.1 c.…

When a CPU sends an interrupt, it is obliged to halt whatever it is doing in order to respond to the signal. I'm interested about the reasoning of halting the procedure in order to finish the assignment. Let's start with the process of interrupting, and then we'll go on to the process of executing. explain?
