The fairway is the correct answer - in golf, the fairway is the well-maintained, grassed area between the tee (where you hit your first shot) and the green (where the hole is located). Airway and Birdie are scoring terms, and Par is the standard number of strokes expected for a hole.

Trent Bridge (misspelled as 'Tent bridge') is the correct answer - the Radcliffe Road End is a famous bowling end at Trent Bridge cricket ground in Nottingham. The Oval and Lords are other famous cricket grounds, and Nottingham is a city, not a specific ground name.

Japan is correct - Japan hosted the first F1 Grand Prix in Asia in 1976 at Fuji Speedway. Korea and India held their first races much later (Korea in 2010, India in 2011), and China's first was in 2004, making Japan the clear first.

Volleyball is correct - when William G. Morgan invented the sport in 1895, he originally called it 'Mintonette' as a gentler alternative to basketball. It was later renamed volleyball when players observed the 'volleying' nature of the game.

170 is the correct answer - in darts, the highest checkout (finish) is 170 points (treble 20, treble 20, bullseye). While 180 is the highest possible score with three darts (treble 20, treble 20, treble 20), it cannot be used as a checkout finish because you cannot reach exactly zero from 180 with two scoring darts.

Evander Holyfield is correct - 'The Real Deal' was his famous nickname throughout his boxing career, particularly during his heavyweight championship reigns. Mike Tyson was 'Iron Mike', Ali was 'The Greatest', and Hatton was 'The Hitman'.

Brown is correct - in traditional judo ranking (for adults), the belt colors progress from white to yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, and finally black. Brown belt is the highest color belt before achieving the black belt, which is considered the master level.
