Final answer:

To return a split worksheet to a single view, click on the 'View' tab, then toggle 'Split' or click 'Freeze Panes' and select 'Unfreeze Panes'. There is no 'Single View' option or relevant shortcut, and double-clicking a pane will not merge them.

Step-by-step explanation:

To return a worksheet that has been split into four panes back to a single view on a platform such as Microsoft Excel, you need to follow these steps:

  • Click on the 'View' tab at the top of the Excel window.
  • In the 'View' tab, look for the 'Window' group where you might find an option to manage the panes.
  • Click on 'Split' to toggle the split view off. If your worksheet is in Freeze Panes mode, click 'Freeze Panes' and then select 'Unfreeze Panes' to return to a single pane view.

There is no option titled 'Single View' directly, and the shortcuts mentioned (options 1, 2, and 3) are incorrect and do not correspond to the correct actions in Excel. Also, double-clicking on any pane (option 4) will not return the worksheet to a single view. The correct method relies on accessing the features within the 'View' tab.
