Should you say point of interruption? The phrase has a different meaning that applies to double fouls, inadvertent whistles, and other unusual stoppages. Does it apply when play is stopped for a legitimate violation? Same with (8) and (12).

Yes...it's incorrect. Thats the whole point of using it as an example.

OK, but the answer would still be "no" even if you used a correct phrase like "the ball location when the violation occurred".

By using the wrong phrase in the question, you may be unintentionally promoting incorrect use of the phrase elsewhere.

It's a true or false question. Without some wrong phrases, they would all be true.

Then in the answer, point out the incorrect use of the phrase.

Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine, and I hear officials use "point of interruption" incorrectly all the time. If the incorrect phrase is part of the question, correct it in the answer.

Just my 2 cents.

The answer doesn't include the part that made the play incorrect. Isn't that sorta the same thing?
