what would you change about the badminton unit and why? *
your answer

Explanation:

First Question (Multiple Choice)

In badminton, serving rules state that the shuttle must be struck below the waist on a serve. So "Striking the shuttle above the waist on a serve" is a fault. Other options: downward return (smash, legal), striking out - of - bounds shuttle (legal to try to save), striking above head on return (smash or overhead, legal).

To answer this, we can consider aspects like duration, skill focus, or equipment. For example, if we change the duration of the Badminton unit to be longer, it's because more time would allow for in - depth skill practice (like advanced footwork or shot techniques) and better mastery of the sport. Or, we could suggest adding more team - based badminton games to the unit. This would enhance communication and teamwork skills among players, making the unit more engaging and promoting social interaction while still developing badminton skills.

Answer:

D. Striking the shuttle above the waist on a serve.
