Answer 1

1. Both feet side by side , with heels and balls of feet touching (B)
   Both feet side by side , about shoulder width apart (D)

   This position will provide structural stability during the tug-o-war.

2. Power skip (B)

   Single leg depth jump (c)

     These exercises are not performed in the plyometric exercise or training.Mostly, jumping exercises are advised in plyometric training.

3. A 12-foot high ceiling is safely adequate for plyometric jumping exercises. (a)

In a safe landing position, your shoulders, knees, and balls of your feet should be "stacked" vertically (c)   

The 12 foot ceiling is not safe for the plyometric jumping because they are more in height and the shoulder , knee and balls of the feet shouldnot be in vertically stackled position becuase this injures the joints involved in the jump.
