Answer 1

Paper will generally expand and contract along the grain of the paper more than across the grain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paper will generally expand and contract along the grain of the paper more than across the grain. The grain of paper refers to the direction of the fibers in the paper. When paper is exposed to changes in moisture or temperature, the fibers in the paper will expand or contract in the direction of the grain.
