A serve, on the other hand, is the action of putting the ball into play at the beginning of a rally. A block refers to a defensive move to stop the opponent's attack.

- A.
Two
- B.
Three
- C.
Four
- D.
Five
Correct Answer
B. ThreeExplanation
According to standard volleyball rules, a team is allowed a maximum of three consecutive touches before they must send the ball over the net to the opposing team. This rule does not count the block as a touch. The three touches typically involve a pass (or dig), a set, and a spike or attack, which are strategically used to set up the ball for an offensive strike against the opposing team. Exceeding three touches on one side of the court without the ball crossing over the net results in a point for the opposing team.Rate this question:
