contents Let $G$ be a finite, connected metric graph and let $X\subseteq G$ be a subset. If $X$ is sufficiently dense in $G$, we show that the Gromov--Hausdorff distance matches the Hausdorff distance, namely $d_\gh(G,X)=d_\h(G,X)$. When the metric graph is the circle $G=S^1$ with circumference $2π$, a recent study established the equality $d_\gh(S^1,X)=d_\h(S^1,X)$ whenever $d_\gh(S^1,X)<\fracπ{6}$. Our results relax this hypothesis to $d_\gh(S^1,X)<\fracπ{3}$, and furthermore, we show that the constant $\fracπ{3}$ is the best possible. We lower bound the Gromov--Hausdorff distance $d_\gh(G,X)$ by the Hausdorff distance $d_\h(G,X)$ via a simple topological obstruction: the existence of a possibly discontinuous function $f\colon G \to X$ with too small distortion contradicts the connectedness of $G$.
