The final one or two lines of a paragraph which break to form a new column is called _______.

Answer 1

The final one or two lines of a paragraph which break to form a new column is called widowed line

Explanation:

Widow

A widow is a very short line at the end of a paragraph or column, usually one word, or the end of a hyphened word.

When at the top of the next page appears only the last line of the paragraph, the line is called a widow.

Orphan

When at the bottom of the first page only the first line of the article appears, the line is called an orphan.  

An orphan may be a single word, portion of a word, or exceptionally brief line, unless at the starting of a column or page it shows up.
