The statement below is followed by four options. Each option is related to the item in the statement, but only one is always true. Select the option that always holds and makes the statement true.
"A game always has ______."
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Rules
The answer must hold for every game, without exception. An option that is present in most cases but can be missing in even one case is not always true.
Option (1) A ball — chess, carrom and kho-kho are played without a ball.
Option (2) A referee — friendly games at home or in the street are played with no referee.
Option (3) Rules — every game is played according to rules that tell the players what they may and may not do; without rules there is no game, so this is always true.
Option (4) Spectators — a game is a game even when nobody is watching.
