Answer:

1. Processor communication -- this involves the following tasks:

<em>a. exchange of data between processor and I/O module</em>

<em>b. command decoding - I/O module accepts commands sent from the processor. E.g., the I/O module for a disk drive may accept the following commands from the processor: READ SECTOR, WRITE SECTOR, SEEK track, etc. </em>

<em>c. status reporting – The device must be able to report its status to the processor, e.g., disk drive busy, ready etc. Status reporting may also involve reporting various errors. </em>

<em>d. Address recognition – Each I/O device has a unique address and the I/O module must recognize this address. </em>

<em />

2. Device communication – The I/O module must be able to perform device communication such as status reporting.

3. Control & timing – The I/O module must be able to co-ordinate the flow of data between the internal resources (such as processor, memory) and external devices.

4. Data buffering – This is necessary as there is a speed mismatch between speed of data transfer between processor and memory and external devices. Data coming from the main memory are sent to an I/O module in a rapid burst. The data is buffered in the I/O module and then sent to the peripheral device at its rate.

5. Error detection – The I/O module must also be able to detect errors and report them to the processor. These errors may be mechanical errors (such as paper jam in a printer), or changes in the bit pattern of transmitted data. A common way of detecting such errors is by using parity bits.

Vinvika [58]

For example, if you observed the attached image you'll see a bad example in which the image excessively occupies most of the space on the page making the written text difficult to read.

Next, a good example of proper editing is found in the next image, which shows the written text properly aligned with the text.

i have a bag of trail mix . one half of the bag is peanuts. 1/4 of the bag is chocolate candies , and 1/4 of the bag is died fru
Lelu [443]
In our bag, 1/2 is peanuts, 1/4 is chocolate and 1/4 is dried fruit.

The likelihood of drawing a chocolate therefore is 1/4. 

The likelihood of drawing a peanut is 1/2 and the likelihood of drawing a dried fruit is 1/4.

Thus, D is the correct answer because the 1/4 likelihood of drawing a chocolate is less than the 1/2 chance of drawing a peanut.
