    • At least 10m

    • At least 15m

    • At least 20m

    Correct Answer
    A. At least 10m
    Explanation
    In Rugby, the ball must travel at least 10 meters from kick-off. This is to ensure that both teams have a fair chance to contest for possession of the ball. If the ball does not travel the required distance, it is considered a violation and the opposing team is awarded a scrum at the spot of the kick-off. Therefore, it is crucial for the kicking team to ensure that the ball travels the required distance to avoid giving an advantage to the opposing team.

    In field hockey, the referee calls "obstruction" if somebody blocks another player from getting to the ball.

    What is the highest score you can achieve in ten-pin-bowling?  

    • 200

    • 500

    • 300

    • 400

    Correct Answer
    A. 300
    Explanation
    In ten-pin bowling, the highest score you can achieve is 300. This is because each frame allows for a maximum of 10 pins to be knocked down. If a player were to bowl a strike in every frame (knocking down all 10 pins on the first ball), they would receive a score of 30 for that frame (10 pins for the strike and 10 pins for each of the two subsequent balls). Therefore, with 10 frames in a game, the maximum score achievable is 300.

The attack wings are responsible for scoring goals and creating offensive plays, while the defensive wings help to protect the goal and prevent the opposing team from scoring. Having two wings in each position allows for better teamwork and coordination on both ends of the field.
