SP Quiz2

The document contains questions about the components of the instruction cycle, address modes, instruction formats, bit flags, assembly instructions, and assembly code processing flow for the SIC processor architecture. Specifically, it asks about the stages of the instruction cycle, the different address modes and examples of each, the structures of different instruction formats, four important bit flags used in complex instruction formats for memory address calculation, the differences between execution and pseudo instructions with examples of each, and the three software programs (A, B, C) involved in assembling code from source to an executable program.
