When a user creates a 'Section Break (Next Page)' in a long document, which of the following attributes can be uniquely modified for the new section without affecting the previous one?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (25-Sep-2025) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

Page orientation and margin settings

Inserting a Section Break (Next Page) divides a Word document into independent sections, each of which can carry its own page-setup settings.

Attributes that Word tracks per section include page orientation, margins, paper size, headers and footers, page numbering and the number of columns.

Because these are stored separately for each section, the new section can be given, for example, landscape orientation and wider margins while the previous section keeps its original portrait layout.

So the attribute that can be uniquely modified for the new section without affecting the previous one is Page orientation and margin settings.

The document's Properties metadata (such as title and author) and the AutoCorrect replacement list apply to the whole document or the whole application, so they cannot vary by section.

The font face of the Normal style is defined once for the document (or template), so changing it affects all sections rather than only the new one, which is why those options are incorrect.
