Which pairing is NOT correct?

Which pairing is NOT correct?

• A. Florida — Gators
• B. Kansas State — Wildcats
• C. Washington — Huskies
• D. Kansas — Broncos

Answer: (D)

The concept being tested is matching a college football program with its official nickname and mascot. Kansas is known as the Jayhawks, not the Broncos, so pairing Kansas with Broncos is incorrect. The Jayhawks’ symbol is a jayhawk, and the Broncos name belongs to Boise State University (and the NFL’s Denver Broncos), not Kansas. The other pairings fit: Florida with the Gators, Kansas State with the Wildcats, and Washington with the Huskies.
