Which section break type should you choose to change page orientation for the next section?

• A. Section Breaks (Next Page)
• B. Page Break
• C. Continuous Section Break
• D. Column Break

Answer: (A)

To change page orientation for the next portion of your document, you need Word to treat that portion as a separate layout area. That means inserting a section boundary that begins on the following page, so the new orientation only applies to the content in that next section.

A plain page break just moves you to a new page but stays in the same section, so the orientation setting would carry over and not be isolated to the next part. A continuous section break would start a new section on the same page, which could place the orientation change on the current page instead of starting on the next one. A column break moves you to the next column within the same page and doesn’t affect page orientation at all.

So, to ensure the next section starts on the following page with a different orientation, use a section break that begins on the next page.
