Answer:

1) Software is a program that enables a computer to perform a specific task, as opposed to the physical components of the system. Computer software has to be "loaded" into the computer's storage. Alan Turing credited with being the first person to come up with a theory for software.

2)

3) An operating system, or "OS," is software that communicates with the hardware and allows other programs to run. ... Mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones also include operating systems that provide a GUI and can run applications.

4) Packaged software is a collection of programs that perform similar functions or have similar features. For example, Microsoft Office includes multiple applications such as Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. ... However, purchasing packaged software is often cheaper than purchasing each software program separately.

Utility software is software designed to help to analyze, configure, optimize or maintain a computer. It is used to support the computer infrastructure - in contrast to application software, which is aimed at directly performing tasks that benefit ordinary users.
