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

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

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

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.
