A mistaken answer option?

In the question:

What string method removes whitespace only at the end of a string?

The correct answer is "chop". Isn't it supposed to be "chomp"?

Both methods exist, check the ruby documentation to know the difference. It is very slight, I'm not sure why the quiz wants chop specifically.
