Answer:

Because the Valley of Ashes is a train route connecting the East egg to West Egg in New York

Explanation:

The train  always halts for about half a minute at the Valley of Ashes because  the Valley of Ashes is a train stop, an important connection point between East and West Egg.

Tom mistress, Myrtle lives with her husband above a gas station in the Valley of Ashes. Hence on their way to New York, Tom insists that Nick gets off the train to get to see his mistress.

The Valley of Ashes is a strategic meeting point because it symbolises the persons involved  - both Nick and Tom are nouveau-rich upper class people who usually transit through the Valley of Ashes, a symbol of hopelessness,neglect and poverty, to exploit the poor people there.

Myrtle on the other hand, even though she lives in the Valley of Ashes, dreams of living a life of affluence and power and the meeting with Tom is the only way she can live that dream of affluence even though it is at the expense of her husband and marriage. She, however doesn't seem to care about them both.

Answer:

c. User applications usually communicate directly with a device driver.

Explanation:

A software can be defined as a set of executable instructions (codes) or collection of data that is used typically to instruct a computer on how to perform a specific task and solve a particular problem. Thus, it's a computer program or application that comprises of sets of code for performing specific tasks on the system.

The four (4) input-output (I/O) software layers includes the following;

I. Interrupt drivers (handlers): it is responsible for handling interruptions that occur while using a software on a computer system.

II. Device drivers: it controls the input-output (I/O) devices that are connected to a computer system through a wired or wireless connection.

III. Device-independent OS software: it allows for uniform interfacing and buffering for device drivers.

IV. User level software: it provides user programs with a simple user interface to perform input and output functions.

An operating system is a system software pre-installed on a computing device to manage or control software application, computer hardware and user processes.

This ultimately implies that, an operating system acts as an interface or intermediary between the computer end user and the hardware portion of the computer system (computer hardware) in the processing and execution of instructions.

Hence, user (software) applications make a request to the operating system (OS) to use a device and then the operating system (OS) communicates with the device driver.

In conclusion, user applications do not communicate directly with a device driver.
