"Overhand above the head" and "Overhand below the waist" are not valid ways to serve the ball, so they are not the correct answer.

The correct answer is 44 X 20. This means that the court size for doubles is 44 feet wide and 20 feet long. In doubles, there are two players on each side of the court, so a larger court size is required to accommodate the additional players and allow for more movement and gameplay.

If the birdie hits the net, during play, and goes over the net you should do what?

Correct Answer
Hit it back to your opponent

Explanation
If the birdie hits the net during play and goes over the net, you should hit it back to your opponent. This is because the birdie is still in play and it is your responsibility to return it to your opponent's side of the court. Failing to do so would result in the point being awarded to your opponent.

When the shuttle hits a line, it is considered ___________.

Correct Answer
good

Explanation
When the shuttle hits a line, it is considered "good." This means that the shuttlecock has landed within the boundaries of the court, specifically on or touching the line. In badminton, hitting the shuttlecock on or inside the lines is considered a valid shot, and the player earns a point for it. Therefore, when the shuttle hits a line, it is deemed as a good shot.
