Answer:

2.) Use a wrench with a longer handle.

Explanation:

It is suggested to use a wrench with longer handle if you cannot exert enough force to loosen a bolt with a wrench.

In doing this work, the torque which is the force that can turn the screw is not enough;

      Torque  = force x distance

If we increase the distance or the length of the handle, we can generate more torque to overcome the force needed.
