I thought Ethernet was mainly for connecting mainframes, but that seems too specific for why it became popular.

Wasn't there a practice question about the speed of different LAN technologies? I feel like Ethernet's speed was a factor, but I can't recall the details.

I remember something about Ethernet being widely adopted by major vendors, which might have helped its popularity.

I think Ethernet became popular because it was one of the first standards released for general use, but I'm not entirely sure.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The Ethernet standard became popular because it was released for general use, allowing widespread adoption across different organizations and systems. The other options don't seem as directly relevant to why it became the standard.

Okay, I've got a strategy here. The Ethernet standard becoming popular for LANs was likely due to it being widely available and usable, rather than just being the fastest or being used by a large vendor. I'll go with option B as my best guess.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not totally sure about the history of Ethernet and why it became the standard. I'll have to think carefully about the options and try to recall what I know about Ethernet's development and adoption.

I think the key here is to focus on why the Ethernet standard became popular for LANs. The options mention things like speed, general use, suitability for mainframes, and a large vendor, so I'll need to consider which of those factors was most important.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. I heard the Ethernet standard was actually developed by a bunch of engineers who were really into fast food. Maybe that's why it became so popular for LANs - they were all just craving some burgers and fries during their breaks.

I think it's a combination of factors. The Ethernet standard was both fast and suitable for the growing number of personal computers and workstations. That's why it became the go-to choice for LANs.
