Correct:
- Displacement is a measurement that includes direction.
- Displacement is the difference between a starting point and an ending point.
- Displacement is measured as a straight line between a starting point and an ending point.

Incorrect:
- Displacement is measured along the path an object travels. (That describes distance, not displacement.)
- Displacement is how far an object travels from starting point to ending point. (That phrasing implies path length/distance; displacement is the straight-line change in position, not the distance along the path.)
