When and where do you use a right indent tab?

• A. to start a paragraph with an indent
• B. to align left margins of multiple columns
• C. to add space before the first line of paragraph
• D. a right indent tab, which automatically aligns the text with the right margin of a paragraph, is useful for placing end of story characters.

Answer: (D)

A right indent tab is a tab stop that aligns text to the right edge of a line or margin. You set the tab stop at the position where you want the rightmost text to sit, then insert a tab to shift the following text to that spot. This is ideal when you want a portion of the line (such as end-of-line text or labels like “The End,” credits, or a character name) to be flush with the right margin while the preceding content stays left-aligned. It provides a clean, consistent right-side alignment without affecting the left side or the rest of the paragraph.
