In badminton, a _________ is called when a rally is stopped without any point.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Let.
In badminton, a 'let' is called when a rally is stopped without any point being awarded.
A “let” in badminton refers to a situation where the rally is interrupted or stopped, and no point is awarded to either player or team. This usually happens due to unforeseen interruptions, such as the shuttle getting stuck in the net after serving, a player being distracted, or the shuttle disintegrating during play. When a “let” is called by the umpire or agreed upon by players, the rally is replayed without changing the score. It ensures fairness and maintains the flow of the game without penalizing either side for incidents beyond their control.
Other Options:
-
Pass: Not a term used to stop a rally without a point.
-
Smash: An aggressive overhead shot to win a point.
-
Serve: The act to start a rally, not to stop it.
