Answer 1

To determine the best statements that describe the student's journey based on the graph showing the distance from home over time, we need to look for clues about changes in distance, peaks, and returns to the starting point.

The two statements that best fit are likely to be:

1. The student rested 3 times during his journey.
2. The student left and came back home twice on this journey.

These statements indicate specific actions regarding the student’s journey, such as resting (represented by flat sections on the graph) and returning home (represented by dips back to the starting point on the graph). Without seeing the graph, these two are reasonable assumptions if there are identifiable points where the student returned home and where they seemed to pause.
