A good answer might be:

No.

LA Example

At run time, the one or few machine instructions it translates into ensure that the designated register is loaded with the required address. This does not involve accessing memory. (So there is no delay slot after this instruction.)

Here is the previous example code done using la:

main:                        #  Load memory address:
        la    $10,val2       #  load a 32-bit address into $10
        lw    $11,0($10)     #  Load contents of memory at the address into $11

        . . . 

        .data
val0:   .word   0 
val1:   .word   1 
val2:   .word   2            # base register $10 points at "2"
val3:   .word   3 
val4:   .word   4 
val5:   .word   5

QUESTION 15:

This la instruction translates into two machine instructions. What two instructions does it translate into? (Answer with two instructions mnemonics.)
