The major function of the language system is: A. to perform various processing tasks B. to provide artificial-intelligence capabilities to the DSS C. to provide data to the DSS D. to enable the users to interact with the DSS E. None of the above

to perform various processing tasks
to provide artificial-intelligence capabilities to the DSS
to provide data to the DSS
to enable the users to interact with the DSS E. None of the above

The correct answer is: D. to enable the users to interact with the DSS.

A language system is a computer program that enables users to interact with a DSS (Decision Support System) using natural language. This means that users can enter their requests and questions in plain English, and the language system will translate them into a form that the DSS can understand. The DSS will then return its results in a format that the language system can translate back into plain English for the user.

A language system is a critical component of a DSS because it allows users to interact with the system in a way that is familiar and easy to use. This makes it possible for users to access the information and analysis that they need without having to learn a specialized language or software.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Option A is incorrect because the language system does not perform processing tasks. These tasks are performed by the DSS itself.
  • Option B is incorrect because the language system does not provide artificial-intelligence capabilities to the DSS. These capabilities are provided by other components of the DSS, such as the knowledge base and the inference engine.
  • Option C is incorrect because the language system does not provide data to the DSS. Data is provided by other components of the DSS, such as the database and the data model.
