At the command line you use the vi text editor to open a text document for editing. You notice that the left-hand margin has a column of tilde symbols ( ~ ). What does this symbol signify? Select only one answer.

1. That you are in "insert" mode.
2. That you are in "command" mode.
3. That the line next to the tilde symbol doesn't exist yet.
4. That you are in "read-only" mode.
5. That the lines exist but have been hidden.
