    4.The shell provides commands that let you customize your environment also.

    5.The shell has its own built-in programming language, meaning that the shell analyzes each statement in the language one line at a time and then executes it.

A shell is used to give Linux commands or get it to do something. X is a graphical shell. Bash is a command line, or "traditional" shell.

How they work differs from shell to shell, but in a command line shell you typically type in a command and get the result.

Is Linux shell a CUI?

Strictly speaking, a "shell" is simply the interface between the user and the rest of the operating system. In that definition not all shells on Linux are command lines. However, most day-to-day usage of the term "shell" does refer to command line user interfaces. Finally, "Linux shell" is not a thing. Linux is an operating system, specifically a kernel, not a shell. Most Linux distributions use BASH, but I personally prefer ZSH.
