    What action should be taken to add a new row or column in a spreadsheet?
    Question



    What action should be taken to add a new row or column in a spreadsheet?

    A.

    Right-click on an existing row or column and select ‘Insert’ from the context menu.

    B.

    Use the ‘Find and Replace’ function to search for a specific cell, and then insert a new row or column using the results.

    C.

    Highlight a range of cells, right-click, and choose ‘Delete’ from the context menu to create space for the new row or column.

    D.

    Select a row or column, press the ‘Ctrl+X’ keyboard shortcut to cut it, and then press ‘Ctrl+V’ to paste it in the desired location.

    Correct option is A

    To add a new row or column in a spreadsheet, the simplest method is to right-click on the row or column header and select the ‘Insert’ option from the context menu. This action automatically creates space for the new row or column by shifting existing data downward or to the right.
    Important Key Points:
    1. Right-clicking and selecting ‘Insert’ is a universally supported action across spreadsheet applications like Excel and Google Sheets.
    2. The process is efficient and avoids manual adjustments to existing data.
    3. This feature can also be accessed from the ribbon menu but is less direct than the context menu option.
    Knowledge Booster:
    · Find and Replace: This is used to locate or update data in a spreadsheet and is unrelated to inserting rows or columns.
    · Delete: This action removes cells, rows, or columns but does not create new ones.
    · Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V: These shortcuts are for cutting and pasting data, not for adding new rows or columns.
