Step-by-step solution for: Keyboard Special Keys interactive worksheet
Let’s solve this step by step.
We have two parts to complete:
---
Part 1: Drag the name of the special key to where it belongs on the keyboard.
Looking at the top part, we see five labeled boxes:
- Backspace
- Shift
- Caps Lock
- Enter
- (One blank box — probably for “Spacebar” since it’s the longest key and not labeled yet)
Now look at the keyboard diagram below. We need to match each label to its correct position.
On a standard keyboard:
- Backspace is usually in the top right area, above the Enter key or near the delete cluster. In this diagram, it’s likely the large key above the Enter key on the main typing area.
Actually, looking more carefully — the diagram shows keys with labels already placed? Wait — no, the instruction says “drag the name... to where it belongs”. So the names are given as movable labels, and we must assign them to the correct physical key locations shown in the keyboard image.
But in the image provided, the keyboard has some keys already labeled (like Esc, F1-F12, Tab, Ctrl, Alt, etc.), but the special keys like Backspace, Shift, Caps Lock, Enter, and Spacebar are NOT labeled — they’re just outlines.
So let’s identify their positions:
1. Caps Lock – Typically located on the left side, below Tab and above Shift. In the diagram, it’s the key between Tab and Shift on the left.
2. Shift – There are two Shift keys: one on the bottom left (next to Z), and one on the bottom right (next to M). But usually, when referring to “Shift” in such exercises, they mean the left one unless specified. However, both are valid. Since only one “Shift” label is given, we’ll assume it goes to the left Shift key (bottom row, left side).
Wait — actually, looking again: the diagram shows two Shift-like keys? No — in the bottom row, from left: Ctrl, then a key with Windows logo?, then Alt, then long spacebar, then Alt Gr, then menu key?, then Ctrl. Hmm — maybe the Shift keys are missing labels? Actually, in many keyboards, Shift is above Ctrl on both sides.
In this diagram, under the letter keys, on the bottom row, we have:
Left side: Ctrl → [key with flag?] → Alt → Spacebar → Alt Gr → [menu key] → Ctrl
That doesn’t show Shift. Let me re-express.
Actually, looking at the keyboard layout drawn:
Top row of letters: Q W E R T Y U I O P
Below that: A S D F G H J K L ; '
Below that: Z X C V B N M , . /
And modifiers around them.
Typically:
- Caps Lock is to the left of A, below Tab.
- Left Shift is below Caps Lock, next to Z.
- Right Shift is to the right of /, next to the arrow keys or Enter.
- Enter is on the right side, often shaped like an upside-down L, to the right of P and ; '.
- Backspace is at the top right, above Enter or to the right of P.
- Spacebar is the long key at the bottom center.
In the diagram, we can see:
- The key to the left of A is unlabeled — that should be Caps Lock.
- Below that, to the left of Z, there’s a key — that should be Shift (left shift).
- To the right of P and ; ', there’s a tall key going down — that’s Enter.
- Above Enter, to the right of P, there’s a wide key — that’s Backspace.
- The very long key at the bottom center — that’s the Spacebar, which isn’t listed in the drag options, but there’s a blank box — so probably that blank box is for “Spacebar”.
The drag options are: Backspace, Shift, Caps Lock, Enter, and one blank.
So:
- Drag “Caps Lock” to the key left of A (below Tab)
- Drag “Shift” to the key left of Z (bottom left, above Ctrl)
- Drag “Backspace” to the key above Enter (top right of main area)
- Drag “Enter” to the tall key on the right (right of ; ')
- Leave the blank box for the Spacebar (longest key at bottom)
But wait — the instruction says “drag the name... to where it belongs onto the computer.” And the computer image has those keys outlined without labels. So yes, we assign the labels to those positions.
However, since this is text-based, I’ll describe where each goes.
But perhaps for the answer, we don’t need to draw — maybe the second part is what matters? Let’s check the user request.
The user said: “Solve the problem accurately.” and the problem has two sections.
Section 2 is: Draw a line from the correct picture of the key to what it does.
That might be easier to answer in text.
Let’s do Section 2 first, as it’s matching.
---
Part 2: Match the key to its function.
We have four keys listed on the left:
- Caps Lock
- Shift
- Backspace
- Enter
- (and one blank box — probably for Spacebar)
On the right, five descriptions:
1. It is the longest key on the keyboard. It is used to make spaces in between the words. → This is Spacebar
2. Makes ALL letters UPPERCASE’ → This is Caps Lock
3. It erases words in the back of the insertion point (blinking line). → This is Backspace
4. It moves to the beginning of the next line. → This is Enter (carriage return)
5. It makes one letter uppercase. → This is Shift (when held while pressing a letter)
So matching:
- Caps Lock → Makes ALL letters UPPERCASE
- Shift → It makes one letter uppercase.
- Backspace → It erases words in the back of the insertion point
- Enter → It moves to the beginning of the next line.
- (Blank box) → It is the longest key... (Spacebar)
Perfect.
Now, for Part 1, since we can't drag in text, perhaps the expected answer is to list which key goes where, but the main solvable part is Part 2.
Given that, and since the user might expect the matching for Part 2 as the final answer, let's focus on that.
Also, note: in Part 1, the blank box is likely for "Spacebar", and it should go to the long key at the bottom.
But for the purpose of answering, since Part 2 is clear, and Part 1 requires visual dragging, I'll provide the matches for Part 2 as the primary answer.
Final Answer will be the matched pairs for Part 2.
Let me write it clearly.

Final Answer:
Caps Lock → Makes ALL letters UPPERCASE
Shift → It makes one letter uppercase.
Backspace → It erases words in the back of the insertion point (blinking line).
Enter → It moves to the beginning of the next line.
[Blank box] → It is the longest key on the keyboard. It is used to make spaces in between the words.
