okay, I'm back to square one. The official answer to the question says that the following statement will return 'Jolly Brewers'....but how can it when pipe represents OR?
egrep '(Jolly)|(Brewers)' Public_Houses
The actual Solaris SCSAS question is fractionally different but I don't see how it would make any difference to the answer

In fact in this case the pipe means AND as well as OR.
AFAIK it has nothing to do with the brackets, if you omit the brackets, the result should be the same.
Additionally note the difference between one pipe and two pipes, where the latter means OR in shell.

All right, I have to correct myself, one pipe does indeed mean OR

--svg, -g

--print-outline, -l
Print document outlines data to standard output. This data can be used to add outlines (aka bookmarks) to resulting PDF file with
pdfoutline program.
--include-range, -i RANGE
Show characters in RANGE.

Parameter RANGE for -i and -x can be given as one integer or a pair of integers delimited by minus sign (-). Integers can be specified in
decimal, hexadecimal (0x...) or octal (0...) format. One integer of a pair can be missing (-N can be used to specify all characters with
codes less or equal to N, and N- for all characters with codes greather or equal to N). Multiple -i and -x options can be used.
EXAMPLES
Make PDF samples for font.ttf and write them to file samples.pdf:
fntsample -f font.ttf -o samples.pdf
Make PDF samples for font.ttf, compare it with oldfont.ttf and highlight new glyphs. Write output to file samples.pdf:
fntsample -f font.ttf -d oldfont.ttf -o samples.pdf

U+04FF but exclude U+0370-U+03FF:
fntsample -f font.ttf -s -o samples.ps -i -0x04FF -x 0x0370-0x03FF

fntsample -f font.ttf -o temp.pdf -l > outlines.txt
pdfoutline temp.pdf outlines.txt samples.pdf
