**Question 1**: Which shape describes the vertical cross-section of the cylinder?
**Response**: B - circle
**Question 2**: Which shape describes the horizontal cross-section of the cylinder?
**Response**: B - circle
However, if by "vertical cross-section" you mean cutting through the height of the cylinder (like a slice from top to bottom), the answer remains **B - circle**, since the vertical section at any point through the height will still yield circular shapes. If you instead interpret "vertical cross-section" as a cut through the side, the answer would still typically be a circle or possibly an ellipse if cutting at an angle. Please note the interpretation primarily revolves around the type of cut rather than the geometry of the object itself.
