Incorrect. head displays only an initial portion and does not paginate the whole file.

Correctpr -h 'Monthly Report' report.txt

Correct. pr -h 'Monthly Report' report.txt supplies the page heading.

Incorrectnl -ba report.txt

Incorrect. nl numbers lines but does not produce print page layout.

Foundation review

pr is a formatter for readable paper-style output, not a general text concatenator.

Inspect a short output and verify where headings and page boundaries occur.
