    Correct Answer
    A. Allows you to scroll up and down in your document
    Explanation
    The vertical scroll bar allows you to scroll up and down in your document. This means that you can view content that is not currently visible on the screen by moving the scroll bar either up or down. It is a common feature in many applications and is especially useful when working with large documents or webpages that do not fit entirely on the screen.

    Correct Answer
    A. You are going to put the exact same thing someplace else and not remove the original

    Correct Answer
    A. Allows you to scroll left and right in your document
    Explanation
    A horizontal scroll bar allows you to scroll left and right in your document. This means that if the content of the document extends beyond the visible width of the screen, you can use the horizontal scroll bar to move the view horizontally and access the hidden parts of the document. This is particularly useful when working with wide tables, large images, or when formatting elements extend beyond the screen width.

    A. The distance from the top, bottom, left, and right edges of the pages to the text
    Explanation
    Margins are the distance from the top, bottom, left, and right edges of the pages to the text. Margins provide a visual buffer between the text and the edges of the page, ensuring that the content is not cramped or too close to the edges. They also help to improve readability and make the document look more professional. By adjusting the margins, you can control the amount of white space around the text, making it easier to read and aesthetically pleasing.
