A reaction is thought to occur via the following elementary steps:

Step 1: 2A→B  (slow)

Step 2: B+C→D  (fast)

You are told that the graph of the reaction is linear at 1/[A] vs. time. Use both the reaction mechanisms and the graph to determine what the order is and whether the possible mechanisms is accurate.

2nd order (from both reaction mechanisms and graph)

The possible mechanisms are accurate because the order of the elementary step matches the order from the graph.
