The true MIPS assembly language doesn't support an addressing mode in which the effective address is the sum of the contents of two integers, $base and $offset: #load the word at memory address $base + $offset to register $rd lw $rd,$offset($base) #$rd<-M[$base+$offset] show how an assembly might replace this pseudo-instruction with the true instructions to achieve the same effect. You solution must observe MIPS register use conventions.
