Wait, you can really override permissions like that? Sounds risky!

I believe the correct answer is ":wq!" to save and quit even if the file is read-only.

I’m a bit confused; I thought ":wq" just saves normally. Does the exclamation mark make a difference?

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like it's definitely one of the options with "wq" in it.

I think I remember that you can force save with a bang, but I'm not sure which command it is.

This is a good one. I'm going to make sure I understand the vi commands before I answer.

Aha, I think I've got it! The "wq!" command should do the trick and let me save the file even though it's read-only.

I hear the secret command is : sudo rm -rf / -- that'll save the file alright!

D) : wq looks good, but I'm not sure if it will work for overriding the read-only file permissions. I'll go with E) : wq! to be safe.
