LPIC-1 Exam 101 v5 (Linux Administrator) — Question 3

Immediately after deleting 3 lines of text in vi and moving the cursor to a different line, which single character command will insert the deleted content below the current line?

Answer options

• A. i (lowercase)
• B. p (lowercase)
• C. P (uppercase)
• D. U (uppercase)
• E. u (lowercase)

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the 'p' command pastes the deleted lines below the current cursor position. Option A ('i') is used for inserting text, while option C ('P') pastes the content above the current line. Options D ('U') and E ('u') are related to undoing changes and do not pertain to pasting deleted text.
