1) +60.0 J
The work done when lifting an object is equal to the change in gravitational potential energy of the object:

where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration,
is the variation of height of the object.
In this problem, m = 3.4 kg, g = 9.8 m/s^2 and
, so the work done is:

And the work done is positive, since the object has gained potential energy.
2) 0 J
In this case, there is no variation of the heigth of the object:

Therefore, the variation of potential energy is zero:

And so, the work done is zero as well:

3) -60.0 J
In this case, the variation of height of the object is negative, since the object has been lowered to the ground:

So, the object has lost potential energy:

And so the work done is negative:
