Answer 1

Correct answers:
- The student stopped for at least one rest break.
- The student rode faster at the beginning, rested, then a little slower pace, rested, and then a little faster pace.

Reason: Horizontal portions of a distance–time graph show times when distance doesn't change (rest stops). Slope of each non‑horizontal segment shows speed (steeper = faster). The graph shows a steep start, a flat segment, a shallower slope, another flat segment, and a steeper final slope, so the sequence in the second chosen statement is correct and there is at least one rest. The other statements are not supported by the graph.
