Best Answer

A hard return is when the user presses the Return or Enter key to bring the cursor onto a new line. A soft return happens when the text automatically wraps onto the next line. In general it is better to use soft returns when typing a single paragraph, as it makes them easier to manipulate and format. A hard return signals the end of a paragraph, so pressing Return at the end of every line makes each line into an individual paragraph. You should only use a hard return at the very end of a paragraph.

Technically a hard return ends a paragraph. So a paragraph would be the answer you are looking for. However you could have items on a bulleted or numbered list. Each item would be ended with a hard return. They are not necessarily paragraphs. They are items on a list. So there is potentially more than one answer.
