    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    It is important to edit some pictures before posting them online to ensure their quality and enhance their visual appeal. Editing can involve adjusting brightness, contrast, colors, cropping, or removing any imperfections. This helps to present the best version of the picture and make it more engaging for viewers. Additionally, editing can also help protect privacy by blurring or removing sensitive information from the image.

    Correct Answer
    A. ME!
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "ME!" because ultimately, individuals are responsible for managing their own online reputation.
