And this question was certainly intended to be considered a varsity game, not sub-varsity.

Yeah, I probably would've gotten this wrong, too. Reading the question, I kept thinking "first touching."
3-4-1a: The clock shall start for a period if a period begins with a free kick when the kick is touched, other than first touching by K.
If the ball is beyond R's restraining line, any touching starts the clock.
