Which action aligns text to the left?

Which action aligns text to the left?

• A. Use the Paragraph panel's left alignment button
• B. Open the Properties Panel. Choose Left Align under Paragraph.
• C. In the Character panel, set alignment to left
• D. Click the Align To Left in the Transform panel

Answer: (B)

Text alignment is a paragraph-level setting, not something you change for individual characters. Open the Properties panel and, under Paragraph, choose Left Align. This directly sets the paragraph to flush with the left edge for the selected text, and in the current Illustrator UI the Properties panel is the central place to adjust text formatting for the active object. The Paragraph panel’s left alignment button would achieve the same result, but the action described uses the Properties panel workflow. The options in the Character panel affect font and character-level attributes, not how lines align, while the Transform panel handles position and geometry, not text alignment.
