Maia says that both lines on this position vs time graph show acceleration. Is she correct? Why or why not?

Answer:

No. Only the blue curved line shows acceleration because its slope (velocity) increases over time. The orange straight line has a constant slope, so it shows constant velocity and no acceleration.
