Read and answer

Read the story, then answer.

Ten party cardsTomas was making ten party cards for Gran, and typing the same line again and again made him sleepy. Uncle Bram showed him a better way. First, select: drag across the words until they light up. Next, copy: a copy of the words goes into a little pouch called the clipboard, and the words on the page stay put. Last, click where the copy should go and paste, and out comes a copy. The pouch keeps its copy until you copy something new, so Tomas pasted again and again until there were ten cards. Then he copied the word cake, and after it the word balloons. When he pasted, out came balloons, because the new copy took the place of the old one. From then on, Tomas looked at every paste before he sent anything.
