The situation that is NOT an example of a linear function is:
**D. The amount of time spent grading papers if a teacher grades one paper every 8 minutes and takes a 10-minute break.**
This situation involves breaks, which introduces a non-linear aspect to the time calculation. The total time spent will not simply increase linearly with the number of papers graded; rather, it will involve adding fixed breaks, making the relationship between the number of papers and the total time non-linear. In contrast, the other options describe scenarios with a direct proportional relationship, characteristic of linear functions.
