Identify the 1950s programming languages. Choose all that apply.

Answer

FORTRAN was the first high-level programming language.
B
BASIC was developed to be an easy-to-use programming language.
C
LISP was a programming language for artificial intelligence research.
D
Microsoft® Word was an early programming language.
E
COBOL was an early programming language designed for business use.

Explanation

FORTRAN appeared in 1957 and is often described as the first high-level programming language. LISP was created in 1958 for work related to artificial intelligence, and COBOL was developed in the late 1950s for business data processing. BASIC came later, in the 1960s, and Microsoft Word is a word-processing program, not a programming language.
