Explanation

The first cell in an Excel worksheet is labeled as A1. This is because Excel follows a specific naming convention for its cells, where the column letter is followed by the row number. In this case, the letter "A" represents the first column, and the number "1" represents the first row, hence the cell is labeled as A1.

Explanation

To save the edited worksheet without losing the original one, the command "Save As" should be used.

By using "Save As," you can specify a new name or location for the edited sheet, ensuring that both versions are preserved.

Explanation

The tabs that appear at the bottom of each workbook are called sheet tabs. These tabs allow users to navigate between different sheets within the workbook.

Submit
7. A fast way to add up this column of numbers is to click in the cell below the numbers and then:

Explanation

The fastest way to add up the column of numbers is to click the AutoSum button on the Standard toolbar and then press ENTER. This is because the AutoSum button automatically selects the range of cells above it and adds them up, saving time and effort. Pressing ENTER confirms the sum and displays the result in the selected cell. The other options mentioned, such as using Subtotals on the Data menu or viewing the sum in the formula bar, may also work but are not as efficient or straightforward as using the AutoSum button.

Submit
8. There are three worksheets with every new workbook. You can change that automatic number if you want to.  

Explanation

However, you have the option to change this default number and have a different number of worksheets in each new workbook if you prefer.

Submit
9. In a report, you need to show the monthly rainfall in Nepal. The best way to do this is to insert a

Explanation

The best way to show the monthly rainfall in Nepal in a report would be to insert a chart showing rainfall amounts. This would provide a visual representation of the data, allowing the reader to easily understand and compare the rainfall amounts for different months. A chart would also allow for the inclusion of additional information such as average rainfall, trends, or any other relevant data points. This method is more effective than using a calendar or photograph, as it provides a clear and concise presentation of the information.

Submit
10. An example of a  range address.

Explanation

The correct answer is A1:B3 because it represents a range of cells in a spreadsheet. The "A1" refers to the top-left cell of the range, and the "B3" refers to the bottom-right cell of the range. This notation is commonly used in spreadsheet programs to specify a group of cells that you want to work with or apply a formula to.

Submit
11. What happens when dollar signs ($) are entered in a cell address? (ex. $B$2:$B$10)

Explanation

When dollar signs ($) are entered in a cell address, an absolute cell address is created. This means that the cell reference will not change when it is copied to another cell. The dollar signs lock the column and row references, making it an absolute reference. This is useful when you want to refer to a specific cell or range of cells in a formula and you don't want the reference to change when copied to other cells.

Submit
12. If you want to have a blank line after the title in a worksheet, what is the best thing for you to do?

Explanation

To have a blank line after the title in a worksheet, the best thing to do is to insert a row. This will create a new row below the title, effectively giving a blank line for separation. Re-formatting the spreadsheet might involve more complex and unnecessary changes, increasing the column width would only affect the width and not create a blank line, and using the spacebar is not recommended as it can disrupt the formatting and alignment of the worksheet. Therefore, inserting a row is the most appropriate solution.

Submit
13. How do you change column width to fit the contents?

Explanation

To change the column width to fit the contents, you need to double-click the boundary to the right of the column heading. By doing so, the column width will automatically adjust to accommodate the widest content within that column.

Submit
14. ###### means: 

Explanation

This answer suggests that the reason for the issue is that the cell in question is not wide enough to display the information correctly. This could be the case if the content in the cell is being cut off or not fully visible due to the limited width of the cell. To resolve this, the cell width could be adjusted to accommodate the content properly.

Submit
15. NOT, AND, OR and XOR are

Explanation

The given correct answer is "Logical Operators" because NOT, AND, OR, and XOR are commonly used in computer programming as logical operators. These operators are used to manipulate boolean values and perform logical operations such as negation, conjunction, disjunction, and exclusive disjunction. They are essential for creating complex logical expressions and making decisions based on multiple conditions.

Submit
16. In order to arrange the countries from those with the highest population to those with the lowest, you need to sort on the population field in _____________

Explanation

To arrange the countries from highest to lowest population, you need to sort them in descending order. This means that the countries with the highest population will be listed first, followed by those with lower populations. Sorting in ascending order would list the countries with the lowest population first, which is not what is required in this case. Alphabetical order would sort the countries based on their names, not their population. Random order would not provide any logical arrangement based on population.

Submit
17. In Excel, a Data Series is defined as what?

Explanation

A data series in Excel refers to a collection of related data. It is a set of values that are plotted in a chart or used in calculations. This allows for easy organization and analysis of data. A data series can be represented by a column, row, or range of cells in a worksheet. It helps to visually represent and understand the relationship between different data points.

18. How many sheets are there in a workbook by default?  

Explanation

By default, there are three sheets in a workbook. This is a common default setting in many spreadsheet software programs, such as Microsoft Excel. Each sheet can be used to store and organize different sets of data or information within the same workbook. Users have the option to add or delete sheets as needed for their specific purposes.

Submit
19. You want to record experiment information and create a chart that shows the rate of crystal growth over a period of time. The best application to use would be:

Explanation

A spreadsheet would be the best application to use for recording experiment information and creating a chart that shows the rate of crystal growth over a period of time. Spreadsheets allow for easy data entry and organization, as well as the ability to perform calculations and create charts and graphs. This would enable the user to input the experiment data, calculate the rate of crystal growth, and create a visual representation of the data in the form of a chart.

Submit
20. How do you know a range is active?

Explanation

The correct answer is "It is highlighted on the screen." This suggests that the range is visually emphasized or stands out in some way on the screen, making it easy to identify as active.

Submit
21. To add a new row, click a cell in the row immediately above where you want the new row.  

Explanation

To add a new row in a table, you need to click on a cell in the row immediately below where you want the new row to be added, not above. Therefore, the statement "To add a new row, click a cell in the row immediately above where you want the new row" is false.

Submit
22. What is represented by the small, black square in the lower-right corner of an active cell or range?

Explanation

The small, black square in the lower-right corner of an active cell or range is represented by the Fill handle. The Fill handle is used to quickly fill a series or pattern in adjacent cells. It can be dragged to copy the content of the active cell or range to other cells in a selected direction.

Submit
23. Say that you want to paste a formula result — but not the underlying formula — to another cell. You would copy the cell with the formula, then place the insertion point in the cell you want to copy to. What next?  

Explanation

To paste a formula result without the underlying formula to another cell, you would first copy the cell with the formula. Then, you would place the insertion point in the cell where you want to paste the result. Next, you would click the arrow on the Paste button on the Standard toolbar, and finally, select the "Values" option. This will paste only the calculated value of the formula to the desired cell.

Submit
24. Which key do you press to group two or more nonadjacent worksheets? 

Explanation

To group two or more nonadjacent worksheets in Excel, you need to press the SHIFT key. This allows you to select multiple worksheets that are not next to each other and perform actions on them simultaneously, such as formatting or entering data. By holding down the SHIFT key and selecting the desired worksheets, you can easily group them together and make changes that apply to all selected sheets at once.

Submit
25. The Cancel and Enter buttons appear in the:

Explanation

The Cancel and Enter buttons appear in the Formula bar. The Formula bar is located at the top of the Excel window, just below the Ribbon. It displays the contents of the active cell and allows users to edit or enter formulas. The Cancel button is used to cancel any changes made in the Formula bar, while the Enter button is used to confirm and apply the changes.

Submit
26. A_______ is a group of cells that form a retangle on the screen.

Explanation

A range is a group of cells that form a rectangle on the screen. It can consist of a single cell or multiple cells, and it is used to perform calculations, apply formatting, or manipulate data within the specified cells. A range can be selected, copied, moved, or formatted as a unit, making it a useful tool for managing and analyzing data in spreadsheets or other applications.

Submit
