To determine which story matches the graph depicting the speed of a car over time, it’s crucial to analyze the general trends typically represented in such graphs.
-
If the graph shows a quick increase in speed to a point where it stabilizes, followed by a quick decrease, then the first option (“The car sped up quickly, stopped, and then slowed down quickly”) is the correct match.
-
If the graph depicts a steady increase in speed that levels off (steady speed) and then gradually decreases, then the second option (“The car increased speed steadily, remained at the same speed, and then decreased its speed at a steady rate”) would be appropriate.
-
If the graph is a flat line throughout, it would indicate the car was driving at the same speed the whole time. This option would be correct only if the graph does not show any changes in speed.
-
Lastly, if there’s a gradual increase to a peak followed by the car completely stopping and then a gradual decrease in speed, the fourth option (“The car increased speed steadily, stopped, and then decreased its speed at a steady rate”) would be suitable.
Without the actual graph, I cannot determine the precise match. However, by following the tendencies described, you would be able to pick the correct option based on the trends present in the graph.
