What type of language is Visual Basic?

Perl
Assembly
Object-oriented
Event-driven

The correct answer is: Event-driven

Visual Basic is an event-driven language, meaning that the code is executed based on user actions or system events. Perl and Assembly are incorrect because they are both completely different programming languages that have different syntax and purposes compared to Visual Basic. Perl is an interpreted language often used for web development, while Assembly is a low-level language used for programming hardware devices. Object-oriented is also incorrect because while Visual Basic does support some features of object-oriented programming, it is primarily considered a structured programming language. This means that the code is organized into small, manageable modules instead of objects and classes like in object-oriented programming.
