However, I agree that the question is poor ..
How can you have a period of restitution of almost 0.5 second then proceed on your way with a bendy rope ???
All the kinetic energy would be imparted to where the rope it is attached to the branch.It is impossible - the rope could snag on the branch and impart some energy to the branch and and some could be imparted to the forward motion of the child but the graph would look even more odd ! the symmetry of the graph suggests otherwise.

Listen, I have hours under my belt of my misspent childhood swinging from branches by threadbare ropes , I know what I am talking about from experience .
