C. Select the source cell, press [tex]$Ctrl + X$[/tex], select the target cell, and then press [tex][tex]$Ctrl + V$[/tex][/tex].

D. Select the source cell, press [tex]$Ctrl + S$[/tex], select the target cell, and then press [tex]$Ctrl + X$[/tex].



Answer :

To determine which sequence of key presses Lucy should use to move data from column A to column N in a worksheet, let's analyze the given options.

1. Option A:
- Select the source cell.
- Press [tex]$Ctrl + C$[/tex].
- Select the target cell.
- Press [tex]$Ctrl + V$[/tex].

This sequence describes copying the data (using [tex]$Ctrl + C$[/tex]) and then pasting it (using [tex]$Ctrl + V$[/tex]). This would duplicate the data rather than move it.

2. Option B:
- Select the source cell.
- Press [tex]$Ctrl + X$[/tex].
- Press [tex]$Ctrl + V$[/tex].
- Select the target cell.

This sequence is incorrect because after pressing [tex]$Ctrl + X$[/tex] to cut, Lucy must select where to paste the data before pressing [tex]$Ctrl + V$[/tex].

3. Option C:
- Select the source cell.
- Press [tex]$Ctrl + X$[/tex].
- Select the target cell.
- Press [tex]$Ctrl + V$[/tex].

This sequence is correct. [tex]$Ctrl + X$[/tex] cuts the data from the source cell, and then selecting the target cell and pressing [tex]$Ctrl + V$[/tex] pastes the data into the target cell, effectively moving it.

4. Option D:
- Select the source cell.
- Press [tex]$Ctrl + S$[/tex].
- Select the target cell.
- Press [tex]$Ctrl + X$[/tex].

This sequence is incorrect because [tex]$Ctrl + S$[/tex] is typically used to save the worksheet, not for cutting or pasting data, and pressing [tex]$Ctrl + X$[/tex] after selecting the target cell is also incorrect.

After reviewing all the options, the correct sequence of key presses for Lucy to move data from column A to column N in the worksheet is:

C. Select the source cell, press [tex]$Ctrl + X$[/tex], select the target cell, and then press [tex]$Ctrl + V$[/tex].
