On the interface of a Web-based tool, the constant text on a page that
changes based on the user's selections is "Step 1", "Step 2", "Step 3",
and "Step 4".

Given this information, which of the following observations is correct?
1. "Step 1" to "Step 4" appear on the new page.
2. "Step 1" to "Step 4" appears on the new page.
