Answer 1

I don't see the graph — could you upload the image or describe the segments (times and distances or whether each segment is sloped up or flat and how steep)?

If you want to check them yourself, here’s how to read each statement from a distance–time graph:
- "Resting" = any horizontal segment (distance constant). Count total time of horizontal segments to compare with riding time.
- "Riding faster/slower" = compare slopes: steeper slope = faster. So compare the steepness of the first riding segment vs later riding segments.
- "Stopped for at least one rest break" = there is at least one horizontal segment between start and finish (not only at start or finish).

Using those rules you can determine which two statements are true; if you upload the graph I’ll pick the two for you.
