Final answer:
The correct answer is d) Pressing the Control and X keys, as this action cuts the text and stores it in the clipboard instead of permanently deleting it, unlike the other options which all directly delete the text.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks which of the options given is NOT a method to delete text. Let's review the options one by one:
- Pressing the Control and A keys and pressing delete: This is a method of deleting text as it selects all the text (Control + A) and then deletes the selected text.
- Pressing the Control and A keys and pressing backspace: Similar to the first option, it also deletes text by selecting all and then erasing it with backspace.
- Selecting the text and pressing the backspace key: This is a standard method of deleting the selected text.
- Pressing the Control and X keys: This action cuts the text, rather than solely deleting it. The text is removed from the original place but is kept in the clipboard, allowing you to paste it elsewhere.
Therefore, the correct answer is d) Pressing the Control and X keys, as this method does not delete text but rather cuts it for later use.
