|2. |     Soccer is a popular sport for kids of all ages. In this sport, players must use their feet or other body parts to |

| |kick the ball into the opposing team's goal. Most soccer players are never allowed to touch the ball with their hands. The|

| |goalie, or the player who stands in front of the goal to block the ball from coming in, is the only one who can hold the |

| |ball. If a player touches the ball with his or her hand, the opposite team is allowed a chance to kick the ball toward the|

| |goal with no other players trying to block the kick, except the goalie. This can be an advantage for the kicking team and |

| |they could score a goal. It is important to follow the rules of the game so you don't allow the other team a chance to |

| |score with their extra kick. |

| | |

| |Which of the following relationships is most similar to the relationship below? |

| |soccer : kicking |
