1, 3 and 4

 

How about 1, 2, and 3?

 

Answer time. Freddy's correct. The answer is 1, 2, and 3. Answer 1. is easy. You cat the filename and then grep the word you are looking for. 2 works because you are using grep to search for the word reviewing in a file named testfile. 3 works the same way but substitutes a wildcard so you are searching for the word reviewing in all files in the current directory.
