Correct Answer:
C. Ctrl + X
Moving text from one location to another within a document is a fundamental editing task that involves two main steps: cutting the text and then pasting it. Keyboard shortcuts are highly efficient for performing these actions quickly.
- The correct answer is Ctrl + X. This shortcut is universally recognized for the "Cut" command. When you select text and press Ctrl + X, the text is removed from its original position and temporarily stored on the clipboard, ready to be pasted elsewhere.
- Ctrl + C is the shortcut for "Copy," which duplicates the selected text, leaving the original in place.
- Ctrl + V is the shortcut for "Paste," which inserts the content currently stored on the clipboard into the document at the cursor's position. While necessary for the second part of moving text, it doesn't initiate the move itself.
- Ctrl + Z is the shortcut for "Undo," which reverses the last action performed.
