1. F2
2. F5

4. F7

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : F2

​The correct answer is F2.

• The function key in Excel helps to switch to edit mode, that is F2.
• The function key F2 allows to quickly and easily edit the data of a cell by activating Excel's edit mode and placing the insertion point at the end of the active cell's existing contents.
• Pressing the F2 key puts the cell in Excel's edit mode. If the cell contains a formula, We will see the formula in the cell and be able to edit it.
• Use the mouse to click the formula bar at the top of the window. The cell activates, and it switches to editing mode. We also double-click the cell to activate editing mode, or we can press the "F2" key.

Function key	Description
F5	The "F5" key displays the "Go-To" dialogue box. The "Go-To" box will list down the valid "named range" available in the opened Excel workbook.
F3	The "F3" key helps in Excel to paste the name or paste the list into the selected cell as displayed in the below image. This function key will not work until and unless the list that you have created is having a "named range".
F7	The "F7" key opens the "Spelling" option in excel using which you can check the spellings in your workbook. It provides the same output as you get by navigating to the "Review" Tab on the top of the excel ribbon and then clicking on the "Spelling" button.
