Multiple choice technology operating systems
  1. Spacebar

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In Internet Explorer, Shift + Spacebar scrolls up one page at a time (the opposite of Spacebar which scrolls down). This keyboard shortcut provides quick navigation through web pages. The Spacebar alone scrolls down, so combining it with Shift reverses the direction. Alt + Down arrow and Up arrow move line by line or open select dropdowns, not page by page. The question has a typo ('shotrcut' instead of 'shortcut') but the answer is clear.
