What does the 'Keep with next' option do in paragraph formatting?

• A. Prevents the paragraph from breaking across pages
• B. Keeps the paragraph with the following paragraph on the same page
• C. Inserts a page break after the paragraph
• D. Changes the line spacing of the paragraph

Answer: (B)

Keep with next makes the current paragraph and the following paragraph behave as a unit when the page is laid out. It prevents a page break between those two paragraphs, so they stay on the same page together. It doesn’t insert a new page or change line spacing by itself, and if there isn’t enough room, Word will move both paragraphs to the next page to keep them together. This is handy for keeping a heading with the first paragraph of a section or any short introductory line tied to the text that follows.
