Explanation:

The said query in MongoDB that finds all documents in the 'restaurants' collection that is looking for restaurants that serve a cuisine other than American, have at least one "A" grade, and are not located in Brooklyn. It then sorts the results based on the value of the "cuisine" field in descending order.
The {"cuisine" : {$ne : "American"}} filters those documents where the value of the "cuisine" field is not equal to "American".
The {"grades.grade" :"A"} filters those documents where there is at least one element in the "grades" array where the value of the "grade" field is "A" and the {"borough": {$ne : "Brooklyn"}} filters the documents where the value of the "borough" field is not equal to "Brooklyn".
The .sort({"cuisine":-1}) sorts the results based on the value of the "cuisine" field, in descending order because the -1 argument in the sort method indicates that the results should be sorted in descending order and ascending order instead, 1 is used in the argument.
