I apologize for the confusion. In the scientific sense of the word, work is defined as the product of a force applied over a distance. Therefore, pushing someone down a staircase could be considered work in the scientific sense, as it involves applying force over a distance. Walking down a smooth sidewalk, riding a bicycle, and throwing a ball also involve work in the scientific sense. None of the options provided can be definitively considered NOT work in the scientific definition.
