(i) A job is a unit of work that is sent to a computer’s operating system to be processed. It is typically a request to run a specific program or task.
(ii) A shell is a command-line interface that allows users to interact with an operating system by entering commands. The shell receives these commands and then executes them, either by calling the relevant program or by carrying out the command itself. The shell acts as an intermediary between the user and the operating system, providing a way for the user to access and control the various functions and resources of the system.
