Look, I know we get in heated discussions around here about what constitutes a win, or about FOC, and the spirit of the rules but this… this is a serious conundrum that was posed to me earlier today and I felt like this community, as it always does, would have nuanced and graciously professional opinions about it.
Why do you do this? Who hurt you?
Edit: And it should be a bowtie.

That’s where his collar would be.
Yaba Daba doo.
A) what-
B) …
C) Ties go around someone’s neck. Those dinosaurs have necks. Both of them have ties. Both of them are wearing ties around their necks. Ignoring the fact that dinosaurs typically don’t wear ties, I don’t see how either image could be wrong. Of course, one could be more fashionable than the other, but in terms of Western business attire, they both seem fine.
EDIT: looks like @BoredomBeThyName established a better answer. I concede to them.
2 seems right to me. Even though humans have very short necks comparatively, they are long enough that we can tell that ties are worn at the bottom of our necks.
Ties are there to hold your collar tight and hide the buttons, so the answer is dependent on the answers to:
A. Where would a dinosaur’s shirt collar be?
B. Where would a dinosaur’s shirt buttons be?
I think both questions lead to the correct answer being 2.
we need to scientifically determine the right answer

What if you were walking your dinosaur and the tie was a leash?
Then 1.
Anyone who thinks it’s 1 show me a picture of you wearing a tie up against the bottom of your chin.

ignoring the absurdity of trying to assign human fashion onto a dinosaur - 1 just doesn’t look right. 2 actually looks somewhat fly
If I was a dinosaur, I would constitute it rather unprofessional, ignorant, and childish to keep that much neck exposed in any environment. I strongly believe that the “so called” (based of the reasoning that @BordomBeThyName establishes) shirt that the dinosaur would wear would cover a significant amount of the neck. This means that the most likely option would be a 3rd option with the tie in the middle.
You also have to consider the specific neck jointing of this dinosaur, which for case of debate we will assume it will be that of the well known Brachiosaurus. When looking at the skeleton, you can see the actual usable region of the neck would be somewhere in the middle which matches up with what we said earlier. The jury is still out on the true nature of the Sauropod neck posture, I would say that our best course of action is to deny all given options and let the dinosaur wear the tie however the heck it wants to.
Here in Pittsburgh, our museum of natural history has a dinosaur named Dippy outside, and he wore a bowtie like this:
I expected better from Pittsburgh
This is what happens when we have (a) someone like Marshall and (b) summer Chief Delphi for a year.
But 2, objectively speaking.

Not sure if the typical material used for a tie make for a good leash. I will try it on my dog later…
Actually no - she is a hyper 8mo Black Lab, if I do get a good handle on it, then it may start to choke her as she goes full psycho when she sees the squirrels that she loves to chase.
Then again, maybe I can find a good knot that wouldn’t tighten up.
Will have to try on Sunday.
Anthropomorphism at it’s best! Or worst?
This is perhaps the one time in which a clip on is acceptable.
