We need to identify the correct keyboard shortcut to navigate from the first to the last cell in a data cluster in a column, skipping intermediate cells. Step 1: Understand Excel navigation shortcuts.
In Excel, to quickly move to the edge of a data region (last contiguous cell with data in a column or row), you use the END key followed by an arrow key. Step 2: Specific shortcut for moving to the last cell in a column of data.
To go from the first cell to the last cell in a continuous data range in a column:
Press END key, then press Down Arrow (↓)
This will jump to the last cell with data in that column before an empty cell.
If the column has data continuously without blanks, it will take you to the last cell with data.
Step 3: Analyze each option.
(A) END + Down arrow (↓):
✓ Correct. This is the standard shortcut to jump to the last cell in a data region in a column.
(B) HOME + Page down:
HOME key moves to the beginning of a row, and Page Down moves down one screen, not to the last data cell.
This combination is not standard.
(C) HOME + Down arrow (↓):
HOME + Down arrow does not have a special function; HOME moves to column A, then Down arrow moves down one cell.
Not for jumping to the last data cell.
(D) "TR1. + Down arrow (↓) successively:
This appears to be a typo or corrupted text. Probably meant "Ctrl + Down arrow" which also works to jump to the last cell with data.
However, Ctrl + Down arrow is also valid, but the given option has "TR1." which is incorrect.
The standard and most commonly mentioned shortcut is END + Down arrow.
