Answer 1

To group objects in Illustrator, use the Selection tool to select the objects and then go to Object > Group, or use the shortcut Ctrl+G (Cmd+G on macOS).

Step-by-step explanation:

To group objects together in Adobe Illustrator, you should use the Selection tool (usually the black arrow at the top of the toolbar), not the Direct Selection tool or the Shape Builder tool. Here's how you do it:

1. Select the objects you want to group together by clicking on them with the Selection tool. You can also click and drag to select multiple elements.
2. Once you've selected the objects, go to the menu bar at the top of the screen, click on Object, and then choose Group from the drop-down menu. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+G on Windows or Cmd+G on macOS to group the selected objects quickly.

This will group the selected parts together into one unit, allowing you to move and transform them together as one.
