Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Palsley's scenario

Palsley drives to her friend’s house, gets stopped by a train (no distance change) halfway, then continues. This matches a graph with a horizontal segment (stop) in the middle, like graph 9.

Step2: Check other options

Allison’s scenario ends at home (distance returns to 0, not graph 9). Jenny’s has 3 stops (3 horizontal segments, not graph9).

Answer:

Palsley drove to her friend's house to go study with her for an upcoming test. It normally takes her five minutes to get to her friend's house. Today, however, she got stopped by a train for two minutes when she was halfway to her friend's house.
