The 32-bit word at 0x00000214 decodes to a JALR (JR) that uses R17 as the target, so the next fetch comes from the address in R17; that target word is an ADD instruction adding R5 and R6 and writing the result to R7.

1) Relevant knowledge:
- RV32I is little-endian: the byte at the lowest address is the least-significant byte of the 32-bit instruction.
- JALR (JR) encoding: imm[11:0] (bits31:20), rs1 (19:15), funct3 (14:12)=000, rd (11:7)=00000 for JR, opcode (6:0)=1100111 (0x67).
- R-type (ADD) encoding: funct7 (31:25), rs2 (24:20), rs1 (19:15), funct3 (14:12)=000, rd (11:7), opcode (6:0)=0110011 (0x33).

2) Step-by-step decoding of instruction at PC = 0x00000214:
Memory word shown at 0x00000214: 0000 0000 0000 1000 1000 0000 0110 0111.
Interpret as little-endian bytes (low addr -> high): b0=01100111 (0x67), b1=10000000 (0x80), b2=00001000 (0x08), b3=00000000 (0x00). Full 32-bit value = 0x00088067.

Extract JALR fields:
- imm[11:0] = bits31:20 = 0000 0000 0000 = 0
- rs1 = bits19:15 = 10001 = 17 → R17
- funct3 = 000, rd = 00000, opcode = 1100111 → JALR (JR)
So the instruction is JR R17 (jump to R17 + 0).

3) Compute the jump target:
R17 contents given: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0011 0010 0000 = 0x00000320.
JALR computes PC := (R17 + imm) & ~1 = 0x00000320.

4) Decode the instruction at 0x00000320:
Memory at 0x00000320: 0000 0000 0101 0011 0000 0011 1011 0011.
Bytes (little-endian): b0=10110011 (0xB3), b1=00000011 (0x03), b2=01010011 (0x53), b3=00000000 (0x00). Full value = 0x005303B3.

Partitioning into R-type fields:
- funct7 (31:25) = 0000000
- rs2 (24:20) = 00101 = 5 → R5
- rs1 (19:15) = 00110 = 6 → R6
- funct3 = 000
- rd (11:7) = 00111 = 7 → R7
- opcode = 0110011 → ADD
Thus the instruction is ADD rd=R7, rs1=R6, rs2=R5 (i.e., R7 := R6 + R5), which matches the phrasing “ADD R5 to R6 and save result in R7.”

5) Why other possibilities are incorrect:
- Fetching sequentially (PC+4 = 0x00000218) would be wrong because the first instruction is a JR that redirects PC to R17. 
- Interpreting the word at 0x00000320 as LW or another opcode is incorrect because the opcode bits (0110011) and funct7/funct3 fields uniquely identify an R-type ADD with the shown rd/rs fields.

Conclusion: After the first instruction (JR R17) executes, the second instruction executed is the ADD that computes R7 := R6 + R5, i.e., “ADD R5 to R6 and save result in R7,” matching the provided answer.
