Column

How would you describe the seats in a theatre? Are they in rows or lines? How would you tell your friend where your seat is?
On the page, words are arranged in this way:
------- -------- -------- -------
------- -------- -------- -------
------- -------- -------- -------
------- -------- -------- -------
Are they columns? The teacher has the student read the words in/of the second column? Thank you very much for your explanation.

Seat 27, Row 6. In a theatre, the seats are by row number (parallel to the proscenium arch) and seat number, but there are usually larger blocks called sections (section A, B, etc) as well as Main Floor, Mezzanine, First Balcony, Second Balcony, etc. On a sheet of paper, you have laid out vertical columns.

The teacher has the student read the words in/of the second column?

The teacher might say:

'MrP, please start reading from the top of the 2nd column.'
'MrP, please read column 1, paragraph 2.'

Also:

'The words in column two have been printed in the wrong font.'
