Question

word processing 262 what is the result when a hanging indent is applied to a paragraph? all lines move left all lines except the first line move right all lines except the last line move right all lines move in both left and right

Explanation:

A hanging indent is a paragraph formatting where the first line remains at the left margin, and all subsequent lines are indented (moved right) relative to the first line. So we analyze each option:

• "All lines move left" is incorrect as hanging indent doesn't move all lines left.
• "All lines EXCEPT the first line move right" matches the definition of hanging indent.
• "All lines EXCEPT the last line move right" is incorrect as hanging indent affects lines after the first, not before the last.
• "All lines move in both left and right" is incorrect as hanging indent has a specific pattern of first line at margin and others indented right.

Answer:

B. All lines EXCEPT the first line move right
