Pitcher, doosra, and bunker are specialized terms used in sports. Which description best classifies the trio?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: They are sports terms

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Analogy items often group seemingly unrelated words that share a domain. “Pitcher” (baseball), “doosra” (a specific off-spinner delivery in cricket), and “bunker” (a sand hazard in golf) are all technical words used within sports. The correct choice should capture that commonality without over-narrowing to a single sport.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Pitcher → baseball (player position).
  • Doosra → cricket (bowling variation).
  • Bunker → golf (sand trap).


Concept / Approach:
Select the option that encompasses all three across different sports. If a choice restricts to a single sport (e.g., “cricket”), it fails because “pitcher” and “bunker” are not cricket terms. Hence, “sports terms” is the accurate higher-level classification that preserves the relationship among the three examples.


Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Identify each word’s sport: baseball, cricket, golf. 2) Seek a category that includes all three domains. 3) Choose the broad but correct class: sports terms.


Verification / Alternative check:
Check domain fit: none of the three are political, zoological, or musical. While “doosra” is cricket-specific, the other two are not, confirming that any cricket-only answer is invalid for the full trio.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • Parliament / animal dwellings / musical forms: Wrong domains.
  • Terms related to cricket: Excludes “pitcher” and “bunker”.


Common Pitfalls:
Overfitting to the familiar term “doosra” and assuming all three must be cricket-related.


Final Answer:
They are sports terms
