Back to paper

In which game are terms like break, cannons, cue, potting, and kissed commonly used?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Correct Answer is  option 3  i.e.  Billiards.

The terms break, cannons, cue, potting, and kissed are commonly associated with Billiards, a cue sport played on a rectangular table with balls and a cue stick.

  • Break refers to the first shot that starts the game.

  • Cannons are shots where the cue ball strikes both object balls in a single play.

  • Cue is the stick used to strike the cue ball.

  • Potting involves sinking a ball into a pocket.

  • Kissed refers to unintended contact between balls, often affecting the intended shot.
    These terms are also used in related cue sports like Snooker and Pool.

Other options :

  • Chess: Involves terms like checkmate, castling, and stalemate — no cue-related terms.

  • Polo: Involves mallets, chukkas, and goals — unrelated to billiards.

  • Golf: Uses terms like birdie, eagle, and par — no overlap with billiards terminology.
