Who amongst the following won the World Women’s Squash Championship in March, 2014 ?

The correct answer is A) Laura Massaro. She is an English player who won the Women's World Open title in early 2014, the event the question refers to. Confirm the exact event and venue against a standard current-affairs source before relying on the date.

Why the others are wrong:

• B) Nour El Sherbini is an Egyptian player who was among the strongest contenders of this period, but she was not the 2014 champion. Do not let her strong reputation pull you towards B.
• C) Sunny Sidhu is not a name associated with women's squash championships. Treat it as a distractor.
• D) None of the above is wrong because A is correct.

The core concept is the world squash circuit: the Women's World Open is the premier individual title, separate from team events such as the World Team Championships. For Mains, squash is a useful example of how sport contributes to India's soft-power and the growth of women's sport. Keep a short list of recent world champions across sports.

Trap: confusing the World Open with the World Team Championship, or assuming that a player who dominated for years (such as Nicol David in the 2000s and early 2010s) must have won every title in a given year.
