Praxis II Physical Education Exam Prep

Correct Response: C. As a badminton player prepares for an opponent to strike the shuttle or birdie, the player should have the racket up, held out to the front away from the body, and never angled down (A). The exact height depends on the conditions of play. The player should be in ready position, with feet apart and knees slightly bent, rather than locked (B). The player's weight should be forward on the balls of the feet, rather than on the heels (D), in order to move quickly.
