1. 1.

   A cart rolls along a track. s(t) is its position at t seconds. Bo asks what the graph does at t = 3. Which describes it?

   • a jump at t = 3
   • a hole at t = 3
   • continuous at t = 3
2. 2.

   A library fine is $0.25 for each started day late. F(t) is the fine at t days. Esme asks what the graph does at t = 4. Which describes it?

   • a hole at t = 4
   • a jump at t = 4
   • continuous at t = 4
3. 3.

   The air warms through the morning. T(t) is the temperature at t hours after dawn. Jun asks what the graph does at t = 6. Which describes it?

   • a hole at t = 6
   • a jump at t = 6
   • continuous at t = 6
