Option B is correct; The car was stopped, and Jing had approximately 150 miles left to travel to Mirror Lake

Here, we want to select the correct statement

We can use the graph for this

We will look at the options one after the other

Kindly note that, we are considering the time between 2 hours and 4 hours

a) The car was stopped, and Jing had approximately 100 miles left to travel to Mirror Lake

We can see a straight horizontal line between these points on the graph

What this mean is that, there was no change in distance and we can see that the car was not moving at these points

Between 4 to 6 hours, there was an uptrend from 100 miles to 250 miles, this mean there was still 150 miles to travel after the car was stopped

The option cannot be correct as it stated 100 miles

b) This option is correct from our explanation from A above

As said earler, after the staright horizontal line, what was left was from 100-250 miles which means 150 miles
