Default how to replace a full paragraph with blanks?

as above.

i have 2 scenarios needing help.


1.
I want to remove multiple paragraphs in a document repeating the same thing.

for instance, i want to remove :

answer -
this is Jake
and he likes to
play basketball.


and replace it with NOTHING (not even a space). how do i use the find and replace function to eliminate all the paragraphs with those words? it seems to take in words only instead of paragraphs.


2.

i want to remove paragraphs which start with a particular word.

E.g.

Answer 1 : Jake is a boy
Answer 2 : Joe likes to play.

Any PARAGRAPH that starts with 'Answer' should be automatically removed.

how do i do it?


Thanks in advance!
