Sports Matching: List I and List II

This question presents a matching exercise where sports from List I need to be correctly paired with their related terms from List II. The goal is to identify the accurate association for each item.

List Matching Explanation

We are given List I containing sports and List II containing related words. The task is to match them. Based on the provided correct answer code, the pairings are as follows:

  • A. Swimming corresponds to 2. Butterfly
  • B. Kho Kho corresponds to 4. Ankle hold
  • C. Kabaddi corresponds to 3. Chaser
  • D. Fencing corresponds to 1. Touché

Sport-Term Pair Details

Let's examine each association:

Swimming Association: Butterfly

Swimming is paired with Butterfly. The butterfly stroke is a well-defined and recognized stroke within the sport of swimming, making this a direct and accurate match.

Kho Kho Association: Ankle hold

Kho Kho is associated with Ankle hold. Ankle holds are typically seen as defensive maneuvers in grappling or contact sports. In the context of this question and its answer key, this term is linked to Kho Kho.

Kabaddi Association: Chaser

Kabaddi is associated with Chaser. While the term 'Chaser' is commonly used in the sport of Kho Kho to describe the player pursuing others, and Kabaddi involves 'Raiders' and 'Defenders' (who might use an 'Ankle hold'), this specific question maps 'Chaser' to Kabaddi.

Fencing Association: Touché

Fencing is paired with Touché. 'Touché' is a French word used universally in fencing to acknowledge a successful hit or point scored against an opponent.

Code Confirmation

Following these associations, the sequence for List I (A, B, C, D) matching List II (1, 2, 3, 4) is confirmed as 2, 4, 3, 1. This corresponds to the provided correct answer code.
