To select from the cursor to the beginning of the session, press...

• A. Return
• B. Shift+Return
• C. Command+Return
• D. Control+Return

Answer: (B)

Extending a selection to the left boundary is done by using the Shift modifier with the Return key. Pressing Shift+Return turns the action of Return into “select from the current cursor back to the very start,” so you quickly build a long, precise selection without dragging with the mouse. This is a fast, reliable way to grab everything from the cursor to the beginning of the session for editing, processing, or cutting. Other Return-related keys perform different tasks (like playback or moving to a boundary without extending the selection), so they won’t give you the cursor-to-start selection.
