She can use constructive interference to generate a wave with an amplitude of 3.5 m.
Reason: Fully constructive interference gives 2 + 3 = 5 m, and fully destructive gives |3 − 2| = 1 m, so amplitudes between 1 m and 5 m are possible by choosing an appropriate phase difference. 3.5 m is in that range, so partial constructive interference can produce it.
