Your Answer for Question 1:
The c preprocessor allows the programmer to use certain symbols to represent specified values, for example #define a 1, allows the programmer to use a as the value 1 throughout the program.  The preprocessor is given information in C and replaces the symbol with that code.  In the diagram, the preprocessor values would be exchanged immediately before compilation of the program.

Your Answer for Question 2:
Programs would be much more difficult to debug because debuggers would have to deal with the machine code rather than an intermediate stage, such as assembly.  It would also require recompiling all the code every time a line of it was altered.
