    Explanation
    The "address bar" in a web browser is a space where the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of a website is displayed. It allows users to see the current website's URL and also provides the option to type in a new URL to navigate to a different website.

    A. Use the scroll bar on the side/bottom of the page
    Explanation
    To see the rest of the information on a webpage when it goes outside the viewing area, you can use the scroll bar on the side or bottom of the page. By dragging the scroll bar up or down, you can navigate through the content that is not currently visible on the screen. This allows you to access and read the information that extends beyond the boundaries of the webpage.

Other parts of the cursor/arrow do not need to be directly on top for the click to register.

This action helps to keep the browsing experience organized and prevents cluttering of multiple open windows or tabs.
