This rule ensures that both teams have an equal chance to return the serve and promotes fair play. By hitting the shuttle into the diagonally opposite court, the server aims to create a challenging situation for the receiving team and increase the chances of scoring a point. Therefore, the statement "True" is the correct answer.

    In doubles play, there are indeed two main formations: side by side and up and back. In the side by side formation, both players stand next to each other near the net, allowing for quick reactions and aggressive play. In the up and back formation, one player stands near the net while the other player stands closer to the baseline, providing better coverage of the court and allowing for strategic positioning. Therefore, the statement is true.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to gripping a racket and that the best way to grip it is the way that feels most comfortable for the individual. This implies that there is no universally correct or incorrect way to grip a racket, as it ultimately depends on personal preference and comfort.

    • True

    In a game, points can only be scored by the serving side. This means that only the team or player who is serving the ball has the opportunity to earn points. The opposing side can only win points if they successfully return the serve and the serving side fails to make a valid play. Therefore, the statement "Points can only be scored by the serving side" is true.

This rule is in place to ensure fair play and prevent players from gaining an unfair advantage by serving the shuttle from a higher position. By keeping the racket below the waist, it ensures that the serve is executed from a consistent and standardized position for all players.
