Research questions

Hi there, please could you assist me. I have no knowledge at all about Unix and I have applied for a job and they have given me a test and said that I can obtain the answers in any kind of way. There are 3 questions that I need answers for. I have tried researching the answers to these questions but cannot find them. There were a few other questions which I have answered by doing research but no luck with these. These are the 3 questions below.

1.What does the following command do
Code:
"FILE[2]=file1.txt;
 CNTR=2;
 if [ ! -f "${FILE[$CNTR]}" ];
 then 
    echo yes; 
 else 
    echo no;
 fi"

2. What does the following command do
Code:
cat file1.txt | sed '1d;$d'

3. Please supply the Sybase sql command used to restore a database called test.dmp which was
dumped with compression ratio 3

NAME
dpkg-preconfigure - let packages ask questions prior to their installation SYNOPSIS
dpkg-preconfigure [options] package.deb dpkg-preconfigure --apt DESCRIPTION
dpkg-preconfigure lets packages ask questions before they are installed. It operates on a set of debian packages, and all packages that use debconf will have their config script run so they can examine the system and ask questions. OPTIONS
-ftype, --frontend=type Select the frontend to use. -pvalue, --priority=value Set the lowest priority of questions you are interested in. Any questions with a priority below the selected priority will be ignored and their default answers will be used. --terse Enables terse output mode. This affects only some frontends. --apt Run in apt mode. It will expect to read a set of package filenames from stdin, rather than getting them as parameters. Typically this is used to make apt run dpkg-preconfigure on all packages before they are installed. To do this, add something like this to /etc/apt/apt.conf: // Pre-configure all packages before // they are installed. DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs { "dpkg-preconfigure --apt --priority=low"; }; -h, --help Display usage help. SEE ALSO
