What is meant by the object is stationary?
Stationary is only meaningful in regard to a defined "Reference Frame", or "Point of Reference". The object is not moving relative to that Frame or Point.
Why must you choose a stationary object as a reference point?
By the equivalence principles of relativity you do NOThave to choose a stationary point as a reference, Any point in space may be chosen as no point is truly "stationary" and a point that is stationary in one reference frame will be moving in another.
Why reference points that are stationary are usually chosen to determine whether an object is in motion?
To support you in specifying how the reference point is placed and how the object is moved away from the reference point.
When an object is seen moving in relation to a stationary object is the stationary object is called the frame of reference or reference point?
It can be.
Which state should a reference point be to be used to determine?
The reference point should be stationary, or not moving.
When an object is seen moving in relation to a stationary object the stationary object is called the frame of reference or reference point.?
This is usually called a reference point. Frame of reference is not an incorrect term, but it is used less frequently.

What is a reference point assumed to be besides not moving?
Stationary
Which state should a reference point be in to used to determine motion?
The reference point should be stationary, or not moving.

The reference point should be stationary, or not moving.
What are some examples of reference point?
A reference point is anything that is stationary. So, if you are on a train you know you have left the station because you moved away from the platform. Hence the platform was stationary.
When an object is moving in relation to a stationary object is the stationary object called the reference point?
true
