You are in your home directory and have a terminal session open. You use the ls command to list the contents of the directory but you notice that your hidden files (such as .bashrc) are not listed. What arguement must you add so that hidden files are listed? Choose only one answer.

1. ls -a
2. ls -F
3. ls -l
4. ls -h
5. ls -s

Answer later.

 

1 please Jim

 

Answer time. Ryan nails it. Correct answer is one. the -a switch will reveal hidden files. the -l switch will result in a long list of the files in the directory.
