What did the Indian women’s compound team do to the World Record at the Asian Games 2026?
- A.Broke it
- B.Equalled it
- C.Missed it by one point
- D.Set a new Asian Record only
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is that the trio equalled the World Record. The Prime Minister specifically noted that their performance matched the world mark, and said this was what made the gold even more special. Option A, broke it, is the usual wrong choice, because a reader who remembers only that a record was involved will assume it fell; the record was levelled, not bettered. Option C, missed it by one point, describes the opposite of what happened and would not have drawn any mention of a record at all. Option D swaps the level of the record: an Asian Record is a continental mark, while what the team touched here was the World Record, the best score shot anywhere. The distinction between equalling and breaking a record is a favourite of paper setters, so it is worth fixing firmly.
