    Explanation
    The correct answer is four quarters of 10 minutes. In a basketball game, the game is divided into four quarters, each lasting for 10 minutes. This is the standard format for basketball games, where teams compete against each other in four equal periods of play. The shorter duration of each quarter allows for a faster-paced game and ensures that the game does not become too long or tiring for the players.

    One of the differences between a violation and a foul in basketball is that...

    • You can commit a foul without touching another player but you commit a violation against an opponent

    • You can commit a violation without touching another player but you commit a foul against an opponent

    • There are no differences

    Correct Answer
    A. You can commit a violation without touching another player but you commit a foul against an opponent
    Explanation
    In basketball, a violation refers to an infraction of the rules that does not involve physical contact with another player. This could include traveling, double dribbling, or stepping out of bounds. On the other hand, a foul is a rule violation that involves physical contact with an opponent. This could include pushing, holding, or illegal blocking. Therefore, the statement "You can commit a violation without touching another player but you commit a foul against an opponent" accurately explains the difference between a violation and a foul in basketball.

    • Speed/ full dribble and slow/ hald dribble

    • Control/low dribble and speed/high dribble

    • Control/speed dribble and extend/full dribble

    Correct Answer
    A. Control/low dribble and speed/high dribble
    Explanation
    The correct answer is control/low dribble and speed/high dribble. This is because control/low dribble refers to dribbling the ball close to the ground with a slower pace to maintain control, while speed/high dribble refers to dribbling the ball quickly and with a higher bounce to cover more ground and move faster. These two types of dribbling allow players to adapt their dribbling technique based on the game situation and their objective on the court.
