Your Answer for Question 1:
1) one example of a difference between mips and C is when several arithmetic operations are carried out in one line of a C statement like (4+5) - (6+7). mip's arithmetic operations only take 3 arguements so it takes 3 lines of mips code to replicate. This is because simplicity is important.

2) also arrays in C are represented differently in mips which uses registers to store its variables. The array starting address is stored as a register but because there are a limited number of registers available the array itself is stored in the memory part of the computer. This is because smaller is faster so a limited number of registers makes things run faster.

Your Answer for Question 2:
add $t0 k 1

Your Answer for Question 3:
This reading was interesting because I've never used assembly language b4 only higher lvl languages like C and java so when ppl talked about machine code b4 all i pictured was a buncha 1's and 0's. i think its cool how mips uses simple functions to implement complex C statements.
