Explanation:

Question 8

In flag football, when a flag belt is detached or the ball carrier loses their flag, the player is considered tackled (this is the rule for flag football tackling - removing the flag is equivalent to a tackle in tackle football). "Out of bounds" is about crossing field boundaries, "sacked" is a term more for quarterback pressure in tackle football (and not the flag removal action), and "safe" is the opposite of what happens when the flag is removed.

• Analyze each option:
• "Backward passes may not be thrown anywhere on the field." This is false. Backward passes (laterals) can be thrown anywhere on the field (unlike forward passes which have restrictions).
• "All players on both teams are eligible to catch passes." This is true in flag football (or general passing rules in football - any player can catch a legal pass).
• "Only one forward pass may be thrown per down." This is true (you can only have one forward pass per down from behind the line of scrimmage, after that only backward passes are allowed).
• "Forward passes may be thrown from any point back of the line of scrimmage." This is true (forward passes must be thrown from behind the line of scrimmage, and any point behind it is allowed).

Answer:

tackled
