Correct choices:

- providing a platform for software developers to write applications.
- managing the hardware resources of the computer.

Explanation: The OS provides APIs, system calls and runtime services so applications can be developed and run, and it manages CPU, memory, devices and storage. Compiling text into machine code and defining programming-language structure are tasks of compilers and language tools, not core OS functions.
