Which lines of text are aligned to the left side of the margin or text box?

• A. Left aligned (flush left)
• B. Right aligned (flush right)
• C. Justified
• D. Centered

Answer: (A)

Left alignment is when each line begins at the left edge of the margin or text box, so the left sides of all lines are flush with that edge while the right ends vary. This setup makes it easy to read as you move from left to right, which is why it’s the typical choice for body text. The other options shift the text to different edges: right alignment lines up with the right margin, centered alignment places lines around the center, and justified alignment stretches spaces so both the left and right edges align. Since the question asks about lines that sit along the left side, left alignment is the correct choice.
