My answers will be based on MARC, not necessarily on what Evergreen's programming actually does.

008/23.

Leader/06; possibly also 006/00 and maybe 007. I don't think there is a difference for Basic vs. Advanced.

>Literary Form

008/33 (for books (item type 'a' in Leader/06))

>Language

008/35-37; ideally should also include 041 $a and $d.

>Audience

008/22 (for item types other than cartographic materials (Leader/06 'e')).

>Bib Level

 Leader/07; possibly also 006/00.

>Physical Description

300 field; preceding that, possibly a translation of Leader/06.
