Hi Erin,

The answers to this would be:

1 - When stepping ahead of the ball with either foot at the side the ball is thrown in

3 - When stepping ahead of the hindmost foot at the side the ball is not thrown in.

4 - When moving away from the scrum and not retreating 5m behind the scrum

Hope this helps.
