To see additional functions in an open desktop, document, or website, the user should perform a single right‑click to open the context menu.

Quick Scoop

When you single right‑click on the desktop, inside a document, or on a web page element, a context menu pops up with extra options that are specific to where you clicked.

This is why many digital literacy quizzes use “single right click” as the correct answer to this exact question.

Other actions (and why they’re wrong in this question)

  • Double left click: Usually opens or launches items (like files or apps), not extra function menus.
  • Single left click: Typically just selects something, again without showing additional functions.
  • Double right click: Not a standard action in most systems and rarely mapped to useful functions.

So if you see this as a multiple‑choice item (double left click / double right click / single left click / single right click), the intended correct choice is: single right click.
