If you want to remove the AutoCorrect Options button from the screen, you can press the __ key.
a. ESC
b. F5
c. CTRL
d. SHIFT
The correct answer and explanation is :
The correct answer is:
a. ESC (Escape key)
Explanation:
When you type a word in Microsoft Word (or other Microsoft Office applications) that triggers AutoCorrect, a small AutoCorrect Options button (a lightning bolt icon or a blue underline) appears next to the corrected text. This button allows you to undo the AutoCorrect action, stop AutoCorrect for a specific word, or access AutoCorrect settings.
To remove the AutoCorrect Options button from the screen without making changes, you can press the ESC (Escape) key. The ESC key is commonly used to close pop-ups, exit menus, and dismiss floating elements on the screen.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
- F5 – This key is used for refreshing in browsers and some applications. In Microsoft Word, it opens the “Find and Replace” dialog box.
- CTRL (Control Key) – This key is used for shortcuts like CTRL + Z (Undo) or CTRL + V (Paste), but it does not remove the AutoCorrect Options button.
- SHIFT – The Shift key is used for capitalizing letters and selecting text but does not dismiss the AutoCorrect Options button.
Thus, pressing the ESC key is the correct way to remove the AutoCorrect Options button from the screen.
Here is the image illustrating the ESC key highlighted on a keyboard, along with a Microsoft Word document showing the AutoCorrect Options button. This demonstrates how pressing the ESC key removes the AutoCorrect Options button from the screen.
