Answer 1

Answer:

A. Foolscap, Draft, Policy and Manifest

In the context of typewriters, the "size" refers to the carriage length (the width of the paper the machine can accommodate). Standard typewriter sizes are named based on the size of the paper they handle:

• Foolscap: The standard size, suitable for regular office correspondence (usually 13" carriage).

• Draft (Brief): A slightly larger size for legal or draft documents (usually 15" or 16" carriage).

• Policy: A wider carriage designed for legal policy documents and certificates (usually 18" carriage).

• Manifest: The widest size, used for large accounting sheets, balance sheets, or shipping manifests (usually 24" carriage or more).
