When two cells are merged, the contents will present the data of which cell?
A. Only the First Cell
B. Only Second Cell
C. Both cells' data will merge
D. Both cells' data will disappear
Answer (2)
When two cells are merged in a spreadsheet, the contents of the resulting cell will display only the data from the first cell. The data from the second cell will not be visible and essentially be lost in the view. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Only the First Cell.

When two cells in a spreadsheet are merged, such as in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, the contents will typically display the data from only the first (or top-left) cell among the two that are being merged.
In most spreadsheet applications, here's how the merging of cells works:
Only the First Cell: When you select two or more cells and merge them, the content in the first cell (usually the one at the top-left of the selected range) will be preserved, and it will appear in the newly merged cell.
Other Cells: The data in all other cells that have been merged into the first cell will be removed. This means if the second cell contained any data, that data would be lost after merging.
Therefore, the correct answer to the multiple-choice question is option (A) Only the First Cell.
It's important to always be cautious when merging cells if you have information in the second cell that you need to keep, as it will be lost during the merging process. A good practice is to always back up important data before performing such operations.
I hope this helps you understand how cells behave when merged!
