(select all that apply.)
between 4 and 8 minutes, the fox is in last place.
the foxs distance is always increasing.
the fox is in motion for 6 minutes.
at 9 minutes, the fox is traveling faster than the other animals.
when the hare reaches 800 meters, the fox is still at the starting line.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze first statement

Check the position of the fox between 4 - 8 minutes on the distance - time graph. The fox is indeed in last place during this time interval.

Step2: Analyze second statement

The fox's distance - time graph has a flat section, so its distance is not always increasing.

Step3: Analyze third statement

The fox starts moving at 6 minutes and finishes at 12 minutes, so it is in motion for 6 minutes.

Step4: Analyze fourth statement

At 9 minutes, the slope of the fox's graph is steeper than the other animals' graphs, so it is traveling faster.

Step5: Analyze fifth statement

When the hare reaches 800 meters (around 3 minutes), the fox is still at the starting - line (distance = 0).

Answer:

Between 4 and 8 minutes, the fox is in last place.
The fox is in motion for 6 minutes.
At 9 minutes, the fox is traveling faster than the other animals.
When the hare reaches 800 meters, the fox is still at the starting line.
