Your Answer for Question 1:
The designers of c included these statements for the convenience of the programmer and to increase the readability of code.  C does not require all of these statements because they can be condensed into fewer operators, as demonstrated by MIPS.

Your Answer for Question 2:
c:if, else, switch statements, goto, <, >,==, !
MIPS: slt, bne, beq

MIPS doesn't include other operators because they can be done using the others provided in MIPS, which increases program running speed.


Your Answer for Question 3:
I didn't understand how exactly all the complex statements of higher level languages could be reduced to so few operators, which is fascinating because it reflects the actual information stored on chips in hardware.
