Are you there, lil'cabbage?
I was sure you were here...
Anyway, is it potential energy? Put us out of our misery, we can't wait to know the right answer...

The torch has only gained or lost Potential Energy by virtue of its new height.
When it falls its Kinetic Energy depends on how far !

in moving the torch you apply a force which gives it kinetic energy. When placed on the shelf this becomes potential energy, this would become kinetic energy again if it were to fall from the shelf back to where it was.

It has gained gravitational potential energy by being lifted upward in the gravitational field.
