Historic Steganography Lab

I've been stuck on question 6 in the Stenography lab within the Historic Encryption upskill series. I'm not sure if I'm missing something within the command line or if the password/passphrase for the file is wrong. The password/passphrase is supposed to be "carnivale" Here are some screenshots to help zero in where I'm at. Thanks all!

    try:

    iml-user@steganography:~/Desktop/steganography-files$ steghide extract -sf image2.jpg 
Enter passphrase: 
wrote extracted data to "image-3-password.txt".
iml-user@steganography:~/Desktop/steganography-files$

    although this should work too:

    iml-user@steganography:~/Desktop/steganography-files$ steghide extract -sf image2.jpg 
Enter passphrase: 
wrote extracted data to "image-3-password.txt".
iml-user@steganography:~/Desktop/steganography-files$

    maybe the extra space before 'image2.jpg' is not working or you're in the wrong directory?
    because the tool is even asking for the password once the file is not existing:

    iml-user@steganography:~/Desktop/steganography-files$ steghide extract -sf image99.jpg 
Enter passphrase: 
steghide: could not open the file "image99.jpg".
iml-user@steganography:~/Desktop/steganography-files$
