How would you edit a file using the nano text editor?

Using the nano text editor, the correct syntax to open and edit a file is by simply typing "nano" followed by the filename you want to modify. This command launches nano in an interactive environment where you can easily make changes to the contents of the specified file. Once you are done editing, you can save your changes and exit using the keyboard shortcuts displayed at the bottom of the interface.

The other choices do not accurately reflect the correct way to use the nano editor. For instance, saying "edit filename" does not specify the text editor being used, so it could refer to any command that might edit files but would not invoke nano specifically. The option that includes "-e" is not a valid or recognized flag for the nano command; nano does not require such an argument for basic file editing. Lastly, using "vi filename" indicates a completely different text editor, which is not relevant when trying to open a file with nano.
