Answer 1

Marching parade moves along a straight path. So, it is an example of rectilinear motion.
Windmill blades rotate about the centre along a circular path. So, it is an example of circular motion.
Bob of the pendulum clock moves to and fro and repeats its motion after fixed interval of time. So, it is an example of periodic motion.
