Barbara is very imaginative and is known to "spice" up stories a bit, making some parts untrue.
After her trip to Hawaii, she was going to tell her mom what happened, but she really didn't do many exciting things. Barbara, being the imaginative thinker she is, came up with a scenario.
"Mom, it was so exciting! I got to see one of the volcanoes erupt, it was amazing! The lava shot a few stories into the air, I've never seen anything like it! Oh, and I was watching a river of lava too! I was only seven feet away from it!".
After her mom heard this story, she knew that a part of it wasn't true. Which part wasn't true and why?

The fact that she was only seven feet away from it all wasn't true. Although it is possible for shield volcanoes to erupt lava high into the air, most of the lava will still just flow out of the cone and incinerate everything around it - if she was just seven feet away from it, she would not be telling the story later

Barbara would be "barbied" only 7 feet away from the lava flow.

"The lava shot a few stories into the air." You could not be 7 feet away or it would fall on you.

She didn't go to Hawaii. She saw it on TV and it wasn't very exciting either.

The seven feel away from it .... the temperature and the gases are deadly
