Answer 2

Joseph is correct

Explanation:

I cannot see the options in the drop-down menus. Even though, Joseph is correct because the difference between the longest length (which is 12 ft) and shortest length (which is 9 1/2 ft) is 12 - 9 1/2 = 2 1/2 ft. It doesn't matter how many ropes measure those lengths.
