The correct answer is 25 MB

The correct answer is 8, 256

Key Point

• ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
• The original ASCII standard uses 7 bits, allowing it to represent up to 128 characters (2⁷). It includes upper-case and lower-case Latin letters, digits, basic punctuation, and some control characters.
• Extended ASCII expanded the ASCII standard by utilizing the eighth bit of the byte, effectively doubling the number of possible characters from 128 to 256 (2⁸).
• With this extension, the ASCII set can cover more characters like enhanced graphic symbols, additional punctuation marks, special characters, and diacritical marks.
• The extra characters in the "upper half" (values 128-255) of the Extended ASCII table can vary depending on the specific implementation.
• The usage of ASCII and Extended ASCII has decreased with the advent of more universal standards, such as Unicode, which can support a multitude of characters from many different languages and also includes emojis.

The correct answer is To mark keywords or topics for easy searchability.

Key Points

• The primary purpose of hashtags in social media is to mark keywords or topics for easy searchability.
• Hashtags are words or phrases preceded by a hash (#) symbol. When you use a hashtag in a social media post, it makes your post searchable by that hashtag.
• This means that people who are interested in that topic can find your post by searching for the hashtag.
• For example, if you post a photo of your cat with the hashtag #cats, people who are interested in cats can find your photo by searching for that hashtag.

• Connect with other people who are interested in the same topics.
• Track trends and topics that are popular on social media.
• Promote your brand or business.
