Which of the following terms is related to football?

Correct — A. The bicycle kick is a football strike. The player throws the body backwards off the ground and volleys the ball back over the head, legs cycling in the air. It is also called an overhead or scissors kick.

Everything else offered is cricket vocabulary, so the question is really asking whether you can separate one sport's jargon from another's. Option (a).

Why the others are wrong

• (b)
  LBW — LBW, leg before wicket, is a mode of dismissal in cricket: the ball would have gone on to hit the stumps but struck the batter's leg first.
• (c)
  Overs — Overs are cricket's unit of bowling. Six legal deliveries from one end make one over.
• (d)
  Third man — Third man is a cricket fielding position, set behind the wicketkeeper on the off side to cut off edges running away.

'Which sport does this term belong to' is answered from vocabulary lists rather than from watching sport.

Football supplies bicycle kick, corner kick, free kick and penalty shootout. Cricket supplies LBW, over, maiden, googly, silly point, gully and third man.

The overlaps are worth marking. Hat-trick belongs to both football and cricket, and penalty appears in football and in hockey, so a shared term rarely makes a clean answer.

Key facts

• The bicycle kick, also called an overhead or scissors kick, is a football technique.
• LBW stands for leg before wicket and is a mode of dismissal in cricket.
• An over in cricket is six legal deliveries bowled from one end.
• Third man is a cricket fielding position behind the wicketkeeper on the off side.

Common traps

• Third man sounds generic but is strictly a cricket position.
• Hat-trick belongs to both cricket and football, so it cannot separate them.
• Bicycle kick has nothing to do with cycling as a sport.
