What term refers to both the act of cleanly cutting glass and the points earned by a team in a sport?

• A. Point
• B. Score
• C. Goal
• D. Break

Answer: (B)

A single word links both meanings: score. In glass cutting, to score means to make a shallow, precise line that guides where the glass will break cleanly. In sports, the score is the total points a team has earned in a game. So the same term describes both the act of marking the glass and the tally of points in a competition. For example, the glass cutter scores the pane to create a clean break, and the final score shows how many points each team earned. The other options don’t fit as well: a point is a single unit of scoring rather than the overall tally or the act of cutting; a goal is a specific scored result in certain sports or the target itself, not the general tally; break is a term linked to cracking or to a run of scoring in some games, not the standard term for a team’s points.
