Correct answer: A
Concept
In document production, each blank should be matched by its category: a measurement unit, two page-orientation names, a binding margin, and a pagination term.
The two adjacent orientation blanks are distinguished by shape: a taller-than-wide page is portrait, while a wider-than-tall page is landscape.
Application
Font size is measured in points, so the first blank takes Point (C).
A page that is taller than it is wide uses Portrait orientation; a page that is wider than it is tall uses Landscape orientation. Therefore, the second and third blanks take Portrait (A) and Landscape (E), respectively.
The extra margin reserved for folding or binding is the gutter, so the fourth blank takes Gutter (B).
A first line left alone at the bottom of a page is an orphan, so the fifth blank takes Orphan (D).
Cross-check
Reading the completed paragraph by category gives measurement → taller-than-wide orientation → wider-than-tall orientation → binding margin → pagination term.
Blank | Required category | Term | Letter |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Font-size unit | Point | C |
2 | Taller-than-wide orientation | Portrait | A |
3 | Wider-than-tall orientation | Landscape | E |
4 | Binding margin | Gutter | B |
5 | Pagination term | Orphan | D |
Therefore, the required sequence is C, A, E, B, D.
