Considering Premier League and tennis results, which of the following 2017 statements are correct?

Introduction / Context:
This question blends knowledge from Premier League football, the Indian Premier League and professional tennis to test your multi sport awareness. You are given three factual statements and asked to determine which combination of them is accurate. Such questions are common in general knowledge sections because they reward candidates who follow sports news across different disciplines and can separate truth from partial or completely wrong statements.

Given Data / Assumptions:
• Statement A: In 2017, Gary Cahill captained the Premier League team Arsenal. • Statement B: In the 2018 IPL auctions, Kolkata Knight Riders retained Sunil Narine. • Statement C: Roger Federer won the Tennis 2017 Wimbledon Championships Men Singles title. • The task is to choose the option that matches the correct statements.

Concept / Approach:
The key is to check each statement individually against known sports records. For Statement A, recall which club Gary Cahill played for and captained. For Statement B, verify which players Kolkata Knight Riders retained in the 2018 IPL auction process. For Statement C, recall the men singles champion at Wimbledon in 2017. Once each statement is classified as true or false, select the option that reflects that combination.

Step-by-Step Solution:
• Step 1: Evaluate Statement A. Gary Cahill has been associated with Chelsea, not Arsenal, and he captained Chelsea, not Arsenal. Hence, Statement A is false. • Step 2: Evaluate Statement B. Kolkata Knight Riders did retain Sunil Narine as a key all rounder in the 2018 IPL auctions, so Statement B is true. • Step 3: Evaluate Statement C. Roger Federer won the men singles title at Wimbledon in 2017, extending his record of Grand Slam victories. Therefore, Statement C is true. • Step 4: Combine the evaluations: A is false, B is true and C is true. • Step 5: From the options, the only one that fits is “Statements B and C are correct”.

Verification / Alternative check:
Football records from the English Premier League list Gary Cahill as a defender and captain for Chelsea during that period, confirming that he did not captain Arsenal. IPL retention lists from 2018 clearly show KKR retaining Sunil Narine. Tennis Grand Slam histories document that Federer lifted the Wimbledon trophy again in 2017, underlining the correctness of Statement C. Together, these independent confirmations prove that B and C are correct and A is not.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
• Only statement B is correct: This neglects the fact that Statement C is also true. • Statements A, B and C are all correct: This would require Statement A to be true, which it is not. • None of these statements is correct: This incorrectly treats both B and C as false.

Common Pitfalls:
Some learners confuse English clubs such as Arsenal and Chelsea, especially when players from both clubs have appeared in high profile matches. Others may remember Federer long dominance at Wimbledon but forget the exact year of particular titles. It is also easy to mix up IPL retention and auction purchases. Taking the time to recall the specific team, year and tournament for each statement helps avoid these typical mistakes.

Final Answer:
The accurate evaluation is that Statements B and C are true, so the correct answer is Statements B and C are correct.
