Although trenches have been used in other wars before and since World War 1, armies in World War 1 could not move fast enough to carry through with an offensive, and they were easily pushed back by reinforcements brought in by railroad train. The war became static, turning into an artillery duel, and the machine gun became even more effective. The safest place to be was in a trench.

What is a reserve trench?
Reserve trenches were used as supplies for the trenches out the front. In world war one, they had come up with a technique of hiding in trenches before they fight. To do this properly, they had made them zig-zags. The trenches on the front line were where the soldiers would fight from. Reserve trenches were used in case these people had anything happen to them and they needed to use more trenches and more men. Throughout the war, the conditions of the front line trenches became worse as the communication and reserve trenches improved. I hope that helped :)
