Question: Three identical boxes are being pulled along a level surface. All three move the exact same distance s and the magnitude of the force F

Three identical boxes are being pulled along a level surface. All three move the exact same distance s and the magnitude of the force F is the same in all 3 cases. In the 1st case the force vector is parallel to the surface, in the 2 other cases it is angled with respect to the surface with the same angle (measured from the horiontal). Which statement about the work W done by force F on the boxes is correct?
W1= W2> W3
W1> W2= W3
W1= W2= W3
W1> W2> W3
