Which of the following is TRUE?

Question

To evaluate the statements, I’ll examine each option in turn and check its claim against how Excel-like formulas behave.
Option 1: The formula =LEFT(RIGHT(LEFT(RIGHT(A1,2),2),2),2) results in the text 05 if the content of cell A1 is COMM 205.
- Step-by-step: A1 = 'COMM 205'. RIGHT(A1,2) takes the last 2 characters, which are '05'.
- Then LEFT(...,2) on '05' yields '05'.
- NEXT, RIGHT(...,2) on '05' yields '05' again, since there are only two characters.
- Finally, LEFT(...,2) on '05' yields '05'.
- Result: '05'. This matches the claim in Option 1, so this statement appears true.
Option 2: The formula =CONCATENATE("A1", "A2") will result in a text in which the contents of cells A1 and A2 are joined together without a space between them.
- Analysis: The function CONCATENATE is joining the literal strings 'A1' and 'A2', not the contents of cells A1 and A2. The result would be 'A1A2', which does not reflect the contents of A1 and A2. Therefore, this statement is false.
Option 3: The two formulas

=LEFT(RIGHT(A2,5),5)

and

=MID(LEFT(A2,5),1,5)

will produce the same result for any value in cell A2.
- Analysis: =LEFT(RIGHT(A2,5),5) gives the last 5 characters of A2. In contrast, =MID(LEFT(A2,5),1,5) takes the first 5 characters of A2 (via LEFT(A2,5)) and then returns positions 1 through 5 of that, which is also the first 5 characters of A2. These two results are the last 5 characters and the first 5 characters of A2, respectively. They are not the same for arbitrary A2 values. Thus, Option 3 is false.
Option 4: A and B, but not C.
- This would be true only if Option 1 and Option 2 were true and Option 3 false. Since Option 2 is false, this composite claim is false.
Option 5: A and C, but not B.
- This would require Option 1 and Option 3 to be true while Option 2 is false. We established Option 3 is false, so this is false.
Option 6: B and C, but not A.
- This would require Option 2 and 3 true while Option 1 false. Option 2 and 3 are both false (2 is false, 3 is false), so this is false.
Option 7: None of the above.
- Since Option 1 is true, the claim 'None of the above' is incorrect.
Overall, the only statement that holds up under scrutiny is Option 1, with the rest containing incorrect logic or incorrect results. The key misunderstandings addressed include how CONCATENATE treats literal strings versus cell contents, and how the two 5-character extraction expressions operate differently (one yields the last 5 characters, the other yields the first 5 characters of A2).
