When entering a command, do arguments or options typically come first?
  • Arguments
  • Options
Explanation: Most commands follow a simple pattern of syntax: command [options…] [arguments…] In other words, you type a command, followed by any options and/or arguments before pressing the Enter key. Typically options alter the behavior of the command and arguments are items or values for the command to act upon. Although there are some commands in Linux that aren’t entirely consistent with this syntax, most commands use this syntax or something similar.
