Answer 1

Answer:

option (ii) Live script

Answer 2

(ii) The original name of JavaScript was LiveScript.  

Explanation:  

Netscape hired a guy named Brendan Eich to create a language in a browser that could work. In 10 days, he finally wrote it. Originally, the code was Mocha but launched as Livescript, and was then renamed JavaScript, because everyone believed Java to be the world's greatest thing and nobody wanted to use Livescript.

JavaScript is a multifaceted, dynamic language with style and functionality, built-in standard objects and methods. Its syntax is based on the Java and C languages— JavaScript also has many structures from these languages. Instead of classes, JavaScript supports object oriented programming using prototypes of objects (see more about prototypes and modules for ES2015). JavaScript supports functional programming too— it can store functions in variables and move them around like any other object because they are objects.
