What are the two parts of the platform used to run application software? A) GUI and HCI
B) hardware and operating system
C) kernel and software contiguration
D) application base and operating system

B) hardware and operating system

Explanation:

A platform can be defined as a computing environment for building and executing sets of code in a software application or program such as an application programming interface (API).

The two parts of the platform used to run an application software are both hardware and operating system.

A hardware platform can be defined as a collection of hardware that are compatible with each other and the software application or program to be executed. All hardware platforms have their respective low level or high level machine language that are compatible with the software application. Some examples of a hardware platform are x86, i860, MIPS, video game consoles (joysticks), IBM Z, ARM, unisys, powerpc, SPARC etc.

An operating system platform is a system software pre-installed on a computing device to manage or control software application, computer hardware and user processes. Some examples of an operating system are QNX, Linux, OpenVMS, MacOS, Microsoft windows, IBM, Solaris, VM etc.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
