3

Loop through descriptions to connect parts and explanations

Use a for loop with variables part and desc to iterate over descriptions.items(). Inside the loop, create a new dictionary called part_summary that stores each part as key and its desc as value.

digital_marketing_parts = ['SEO', 'Content Marketing', 'Social Media', 'Email Marketing', 'Online Ads']
descriptions = {
    'SEO': 'Improving website visibility on search engines',
