Close apps

I’ve just purchased an iPad 7th generation. When I press the home button twice it brings up recently used apps - how to I close them?

See instructions in How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

and also note the following from that link:

When your recently used apps appear, the apps aren’t open, but they're in standby mode to help you navigate and multitask. You should force an app to close only if it’s unresponsive.
