Which action selects the second paragraph in a letter?

• A. Triple-click inside the second paragraph
• B. Double-click inside the second paragraph
• C. Drag across the paragraph
• D. Click at the start and press Shift+End

Answer: (A)

In Word, selecting a whole paragraph is most reliably done by triple-clicking anywhere inside that paragraph. This works because a paragraph is treated as a single unit, and a triple-click selects the entire paragraph from its start to its end. Double-clicking picks only a single word, so it won’t grab the whole paragraph. Dragging across the text can work, but it requires precise highlighting and may miss parts if you don’t trace every character. Clicking at the start and pressing Shift+End extends the selection only to the end of the current line, not necessarily to the end of the paragraph, since a paragraph can span multiple lines.
