explained by canary
"3) heavily interpreted - far away from machine code
Basic All symbolic insstruction code" - high level language is any language that turns source code into 1 or more object code instructions, eg basic, pascal, cobol, algol etc. A low level language is ammebly language that tuns each symbolic instruction into an object code instruction.
"ASCII is like Basic but different words" - answered correctly by spath
