Question

The correct order of steps for entering data in a spreadsheet is –

• A. type the data, click the cell and press enter
• B. click the cell, type the data and press enter
• C. press enter, click the cell and type the data
• D. click the cell, press enter and type the data

Hint:

You must first choose the cell, then type, and finally confirm with the Enter key.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
A spreadsheet is made of rows and columns. Each box where a row and a column meet is called a cell. Data is stored in cells.

Step 2: Recall the correct order:
First, select the cell where the data must go by clicking it. Second, type the data. Third, press Enter to confirm the entry.

Step 3: Check option (A):
Typing before clicking a cell has no target cell, so the data goes nowhere. (A) is wrong.

Step 4: Check option (B):
Click the cell, type the data and press Enter. This is the proper order. (B) is correct.

Step 5: Check options (C) and (D):
In (C), Enter is pressed first, which has nothing to confirm. In (D), Enter is pressed before typing, so the data is never entered. Both are wrong.

Final Answer:
The correct order is click the cell, type the data and press Enter, option (B).
