If my LaTeX table extends beyond my page, how can I use the longtable package to make the table continue in the next page? [closed]

Question

Here is my code, I had problems fitting it horizontally but I got help in a previous questions. The problem is that when I added all the text I needed, the table extended out of the page vertically. I try looking for ways to split it between 2 pages and I found the longtable packages but it works really oddly in my code. Perhaps I am missing something?

This is how it currently looks:

Answer 1

A table is a floating object, which is restricted to a single page. If you want the longtblr to break between pages, don't wrap it into a table environment:
