The missing keyword is obviously 'for'. It's the equivalent of saying 'Hey, bash, please do this thing to each of these files for me.'

Definitely 'for'. It's a common keyword used for looping through files in shell scripts.

I think it should be 'for' as well. That's how you iterate through files in a shell script.

Yes, you're right. 'for' is the missing keyword in the code sample.

I'm voting for 'for'. Can't imagine anyone would use 'until' or 'while' to loop over a set of files. Unless they're a secret agent trying to hack the CIA or something.

Easy peasy, the answer is 'for'. Bash scripts and 'for' loops go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Definitely 'for', that's how you iterate through files in a directory.

Hmm, I'd go with 'for'. Anything else just doesn't make sense in this context. Unless the exam writer is trying to trick us with some obscure bash syntax...
