When you use it
Reach for this when asked what doping is or what happens to an athlete found guilty of an anti-doping rule violation.
Watch out
Breaking any anti-doping rule counts as doping, not only taking a prohibited substance. Not knowing is no excuse: the chapter says ignorance is not a reason and carelessness is not considered in anti-doping cases.

When you use it
Reach for this when asked what the VAR does in football or which decisions it checks.
Watch out
The VAR only makes sure no clearly wrong decisions are made on goals, penalty decisions, and sending off or not sending off a player. It informs the referee; it does not re-examine every decision in the match.

Answer: A the relationship between sports and society

Question 2
According to the chapter, what does economy refer to?
Answer: C an area of production, distribution and trade, as well as consumption of goods and services

Question 3
Which athlete became Sweetgreen's youngest ever investor in May 2021?
Answer: B Naomi Osaka
Why
The chapter says that Naomi Osaka became Sweetgreen's youngest ever investor in May 2021. Sweetgreen is a healthy fast-food brand.
Question 4
Which technology does the chapter say is used to help decide goals, penalty decisions and mistaken identity in football?
Answer: D VAR (Video Assisted Referee)
Why
The chapter says that in football there is a video assisted referee (VAR), and that goals, penalty decisions and mistaken identity are the three fundamental events where VAR is used. The Fit bit and sensor-enabled shoes are wearables, and the photo-finish camera is used in athletics.
Question 5
In 1994, Tegla Loroupe became the first African woman to win a major marathon. Which country is she from?
Answer: A Kenya
Why
The chapter states that Tegla Loroupe of Kenya became the first African woman to win a major marathon in 1994. Morocco is the country of Nawal El Moutawakel, and Italy is the country of Maria-Teresa de Filippis.
Question 6
The 41st CECAFA Cup was held in Bahir Dar from July 18 to 31, 2021, with eleven teams. Each team is expected to have an average of 25 members. About how many team members would there be in total?
Answer: B 275
Why
There are 11 teams, and each has an average of 25 members. So 11 × 25 = 275 team members. The chapter also says that around 400 foreigners took part from the opening to the clothing ceremony, but that number is not the team member total.
Question 7
According to the chapter, which statement best describes gender in sport?
Answer: C Gender refers to the differences created by social, cultural, historical and political expectations about behaviour, interests, abilities and attitudes to men and women in sport.
Why
The chapter says that gender refers to the female and male differences created by social, cultural, historical and political expectations about behaviour, interests, abilities and attitudes to men and women in sport. Option C matches this definition.
Question 8
Nawal El Moutawakel of Morocco became the first woman from Arabian countries to win an Olympic medal. In which event did she win it at the 1984 Olympics?
Answer: D 400-metre hurdles
Why
The chapter says that Nawal El Moutawakel won an Olympic medal for the 400-metre hurdles at the 1984 Olympics. She was the first woman from Arabian countries to do this.
Question 9
The chapter says that sport has an extraordinary impact on the world economy because of its close link with three other divisions. Which three divisions does it list?
Answer: A education, real estate and tourism
Why
The chapter says that sport has an extraordinary impact on the world economy due to the nature of its near affiliation with divisions including instruction, real estate and tourism. Instruction means education, so option A is correct.
Question 10
Which law in the chapter states that women have equal rights with men, including in the enjoyment of rights and protections?
Answer: A Article 35, sub-article 1 of the Federal Constitution
Why
The chapter quotes Article 35, sub-article 1 of the Federal Constitution, which says that women shall have equal rights with men. The UNESCO Charter is about physical education and sport as a human right, but it is not the source of the equal rights quote in the chapter.
