To understand what will happen when the provided code runs, let's break down the movements and turns step by step.

  1. Karel starts at Row 1, Column 1, facing East.

  2. First command: move();

    • Karel moves one space East to Row 1, Column 2.
  3. Second command: move();

    • Karel moves one space East to Row 1, Column 3.
  4. Third command: turnRight();

    • Karel is now facing South (since Karel was initially facing East).
  5. Fourth command: move();

    • Karel moves one space South to Row 2, Column 3.

After executing all the commands, Karel will end up at Row 2, Column 3.

So, the correct answer is:

Karel ends on Row 2, Column 3.
