You are correct for that part of the question. However, the question had two parts, only one of which was true. Here is the question broken into its two parts:

1. The ball becomes dead immediately when a batted ball, while on foul ground, first touches the catcher's glove or hand.

2. The ball becomes dead immediately when a batted ball, while over foul ground, first touches the catcher's glove or hand.

Part 1 is True, Part 2 is False. Therfore, the entire question must be false.

This concludes today's lesson.......

(didn't we just have a similar discussion earlier this week?)
