Draw one line to connect each Operating System (OS) term to the most appropriate description about it. OS term Description Using secondary storage to simulate additional main memory Managing the processes running on the CPU Managing the execution of many programs that appear to run at the same time Locating non-contiguous blocks of data and relocating them Transferring control to another routine when a service is required Reading/writing same-size blocks of data from/to secondary storage when required Multi-tasking Paging Interrupt handling Scheduling Virtual memory Explain how an interpreter executes a program without producing a complete translated version of it.
