1. of the software listed below, which ones are application software?

printer driver and joystick driver
antivirus and antispam
internet browser and computer game
spreadsheets and databases

Explanation:

• For question 11: GUI stands for graphical user interface. It is a type of user interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices through graphical icons and visual indicators.
• For question 12: Application software is software designed to perform a specific function directly for the user. Internet browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) are used for accessing the web, and computer games are for entertainment. These are application software. Printer and joystick drivers are device drivers (system software). Antivirus and antispam can be considered as a type of utility software (though some might classify antivirus as application in a broad sense, but more accurately it's system - level protection). Spreadsheets (e.g., Excel) and databases (e.g., MySQL - though MySQL server is system software, a simple database application like a small - scale desktop database might be application) but more accurately, spreadsheets are application software and databases (as in database management systems) can be system or application depending on the context. However, among the options, Internet browser and computer game are clearly application software.

Answer:

1. graphical user interface
2. Internet browser and computer game
