c. the hiker stopped for lunch from 11: 00-12: 00 and that slowed him down.

d. the hiker ended up in the same place that he started.

a.The hiker had an easy, level trail from 11:00-12:00 and was able to travel the fastest during that time period.---> may be because this was indeed fastest  stage

b.The hiker got tired and walked the slowest from 1:00-2:00.---> no, because this was not the slowest stage

c.The hiker stopped for lunch from 11:00-12:00 and that slowed him down.---> no because this was the fastest stage

d.The hiker ended up in the same place that he started.---> no, because the hiker walked more toward east than toward west and more toward south than toward north.
