Part 1
a. The number of subsets is 
  


To find the number of subsets of a set, we use the formula:

\[
\text{Number of subsets} = 2^n
\]

where \(n\) is the number of elements in the set.

Given the set \(\{e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l\}\), it has 8 elements.

Thus, the number of subsets is:

\[
2^8 = 256
\]

### Answer:
(a) The number of subsets is **256**.
