Explanation:

• For "Not moving if the reference point is the train": When the reference point is the train, your position relative to the train doesn't change, so you are not moving relative to the train. This is true.
• For "Moving if the reference point is the ground": The train is moving at 120 mph relative to the ground, so you (on the train) are also moving relative to the ground. This is true.
• For "Not moving if the reference point is the train operator who’s also on the train": The train operator is on the train, so your position relative to the operator doesn't change. Thus, you are not moving relative to the operator. This is true.

Answer:

• Not moving if the reference point is the train.
• Moving if the reference point is the ground.
• Not moving if the reference point is the train operator who's also on the train.
