7.
The rules of baseball state that a batter Legally Completes His Time at Bat when he is put out or becomes a base runner. Which situation below is the best example of a batter Legally Completing His Time at Bat?
Jared's blooper over the head of the short-stop puts him in scoring position.
The umpire calls a strike, even though the last pitch was way outside.
The pitcher throws his famous knuckleball, Joe swings and misses, and the umpire calls a strike.
The count is two balls and two strikes as Mario waits for the next pitch.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The fact that Jared is in scoring position due to his blooper indicates that he has hit the ball and is now a base runner; therefore, he has legally completed his time at bat. Choices b and c both describe situations in which a strike is called, but they do not state that the batter has been put out or that he is now a base runner. Choice d describes a situation in which the batter, Mario, is still at the plate waiting for the next pitch.

Why would this be part of an aptitude test?

For you to be able to get the answer correctly, you have to have some knowledge of baseball. This is quite an fair to some people that have no idea about the sport.
