Final answer:

Using the formula Work = Force x Distance, the person does 2800 J of work when applying a force of 35N over 8 garden rows of 10m each. The correct answer does not match any of the options provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The person uses a force of 35N to pull a bag through 8 garden rows, each 10 m. To calculate the work done, use the formula Work (W) = Force (F) × Distance (D). Assuming the force is applied in the direction of the motion, the work done by the person is:

W = F × D = 35N × (8 × 10m) = 35N × 80m = 2800 J (joules).

The correct answer to the question is not listed in the options provided. Therefore, there might be a mistake in either the question or the answer choices.
