Which of the following is a pair names of the same game?

  • A.Soccer - football
  • B.Golf - polo
  • C.Billiards - carrom
  • D.Volleyball - squash

Answer: A

Soccer and football are two names for the same game. 'Soccer' is a clipping of 'association football', coined in England in the 1880s to distinguish it from rugby football.

The other pairs name genuinely different games: golf and polo, billiards and carrom, volleyball and squash have nothing in common but their surfaces.
