Question

Match the following prominent international sports organizations for individuals with disabilities with their respective official founding years:

List I (Organization)	List II (Founding Year)
1. Special Olympics	P. 1968
2. International Paralympic Committee (IPC)	Q. 1989
3. International Committee of Sports for the Deaf	R. 1924

• A. \( 1\text{-Q},\, 2\text{-R},\, 3\text{-P} \)
• B. \( 1\text{-P},\, 2\text{-Q},\, 3\text{-R} \)
• C. \( 1\text{-R},\, 2\text{-P},\, 3\text{-Q} \)
• D. \( 1\text{-Q},\, 2\text{-P},\, 3\text{-R} \)

Hint:

Remember that the Deaflympics movement is historically the oldest adaptive sports organization, dating back to 1924, while the modern Paralympic Committee (IPC) was established much later, in 1989.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Tracking the historical development of adaptive sports organizations is essential for mastering the "Sports for CWSN" module.

Step 1: Map each organization to its correct historical timeline entry.

• Special Olympics (1-Q): Founded by Eunice Kennedy Shriver in July 1968 to provide year-round sports training for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
• International Paralympic Committee (2-R): Formed on September 22, 1989, in Dusseldorf, Germany, to act as the global governing body for the Paralympic movement.
• Deaflympics Governing Body (3-P): The International Committee of Sports for the Deaf was established way back in 1924 to organize games for hearing-impaired athletes.

Step 2: Construct the match pattern matrix. Aligning our pairs yields: \( 1\rightarrow Q \), \( 2\rightarrow R \), and \( 3\rightarrow P \).
