The box is too small and some of the text is cut off. It should read:

Which Objects Get Stretched and Which Objects Don’t?

When you select a portion of a drawing to be stretched, like the example to the left, some entities are stretched while others are moved.

Notice in the example to the left (Figure 3-1.1), the two horizontal lines are stretched, whereas the vertical line simply moves 1'-6" to the left.

You can think of it this way:
Any lines that pass through the Crossing Window are stretched. Any lines that are completely within the Crossing Window are moved.
