If the boxer has been disqualified due to blatant __________ or __________ behavior, it must be brought to the attention of the USA boxing Judicial Committee.

• A. Misconduct, Un-sportsman like
• B. Misconduct, Unsportsmanlike
• C. Illegal, Un-Sportsmanlike
• D. Foul, Unsportsmanlike

Answer: (A)

The statement tests the proper disciplinary terms used for serious rule violations that must be reviewed by the USA Boxing Judicial Committee. The correct pairing uses “misconduct” together with “unsportsmanlike” behavior, which is the standard way officials describe actions that violate the spirit of sport and require formal oversight. This phrasing matches the official terminology: misconduct covers general violations of rules, and unsportsmanlike conduct describes attitudes or actions contrary to sportsmanship.

Other options drift from that standard language. “Illegal” implies criminal law rather than boxing rules, and “Foul” refers to in-bout penalties rather than a broad, reportable conduct category. The spelling/hyphenation of unsportsmanlike also doesn’t align with the conventional term used in the rules.
