Motion Photography Question?

Difficult to say what your class teacher wants without asking him/her directly, but I interpret this question as being all about motion so,

A) with a moving subject, subject is sharp, but background blurred - do this by panning the camera on the moving subject (I take it you've done this already) with a fairly high shutter speed;

B) still with moving things - this time the subject blurred but background sharp - this just means not panning the camera, but having a shutter speed slow enough to capture the motion blur (background will be sharp) ie you'll get the opposite result to that above;

C) I take this to mean a moving subject, but this time both the subject AND the background to be sharp. Do this with a faster shutter speed than A) - to enable BOTH to be sharp.

Results - both A) and B) will give a sense of motion in the image, but in C) the subject will appear to be stationary, as there's no blur to give the idea of motion.

I have to take three pictures for my photo class defined below:
a) Background blur
b) Subject Blur
c) Stationary

I did the background blur and the subject blur, but don't know what does he mean by stationary? I did try to find it on internet, but looks like google is taking me to the sites I don't want.
Please explain it to me with some e.g. (giving the URL of the sites to look at a couple examples is not bad too), but what does he wants us to shot, and what does he mean by stationary. Thank You (Good Rating for Best Answer).
