Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: Diamond
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Sports-terminology classification checks whether a term is a recognized fielding position or bowling delivery. Three of these are mainstream in cricket contexts; one is not a standard standalone term.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Accept conventional cricket vocabulary and typical reasoning-set tolerance for minor spelling (googli→googly). Flag terms that only appear as part of a multiword phrase (e.g., diamond duck) rather than as a canonical role/delivery.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Slip → valid fielding position.2) Googli → accepted for “googly,” valid delivery.3) Doosra → valid delivery.4) Diamond → no standard cricketing role/delivery on its own.
Verification / Alternative check:
Cross-check standard lists of positions and bowling types—“diamond” appears only in phrases like “diamond duck,” not as a position/delivery.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They are recognized cricketing terms and fit the group.
Common Pitfalls:
Rejecting “googli” due to spelling; these questions typically accept common variants intended to denote “googly”.
Final Answer:
Diamond
