This document contains 10 multiple choice questions about computer architecture topics like memory addressing, instruction execution, CPU components and functions, and subroutine calls. The questions cover addressing modes, immediate addressing, what a microprocessor is, how subroutine returns work, types of interrupts, the control unit's function, common addressing techniques, what pipelining implements, where the return address is stored when a subroutine is called, and what operations a CPU does not perform.
