Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The Cut option (Shortcut: Ctrl + X) in Microsoft Word removes the selected text or graphic from its current position and stores it temporarily on the Clipboard so that it can be placed elsewhere using the Paste command.
Copy leaves the text in its original place while storing a duplicate on the clipboard.

Paste inserts the contents of the clipboard at the cursor location.
