Which skill set involves throwing, catching, kicking, and striking with an object?

• A. Object Manipulation Skills
• B. Locomotor Skills
• C. Nonlocomotor Skills
• D. Quality

Answer: (A)

Focusing on how the body interacts with objects, this item highlights object manipulation skills. Throwing, catching, kicking, and striking with an object all require handling and controlling an object, not just moving the body through space. In contrast, locomotor skills involve moving the body from place to place (like running or jumping), nonlocomotor skills are movements done in place (such as bending or twisting), and quality describes how well a movement is performed rather than a category of skill. So the set of actions listed fits object manipulation skills best.
