It seems you're looking at other distribution inittab file...
but well..

si = first init script run to initialize others.

ca = well, i guess you can figure out yourself

pf = power fail, shutdown the pc in 2 minutes
pr = if power is restored in those 2 minutes, cancel it

simple

you can find more info in init, telinit and inittab man pages.

I hope you don't get this badly, but I think you need to learn how to use web search engines... your teacher may could you.
