1. The problem asks us to describe Polly's movement based on her distance from the store over time as shown by the graph.
2. The graph starts at zero distance, then increases linearly, indicating Polly is moving away from the store.
3. The graph then flattens, showing a horizontal line, meaning Polly stays at a constant distance from the store for a while (she is at the store).
4. After the flat section, the graph decreases linearly back to zero distance, indicating Polly returns to the store.
5. This pattern suggests Polly first travels away from the store, stays there briefly, then drives away but immediately turns around and comes back to the store.
6. The key idea is that the slope of the graph represents speed and direction: positive slope means moving away, zero slope means stationary, negative slope means returning.
Final answer: Polly drives away from the store, stays there for a short time, then drives away again but quickly returns to the store.
