Answer:

Both sentences are true

Step-by-step explanation:

Work formula:

W = F*d

where F is force applied to an object and d is the distance travelled by the object. As can be seen in the formula, work is proportional to both force and distance. Then, if we decrease the distance an object moves we will decrease the amount of work done, and if we increase the amount of force applied we will increase the amount of work done.
