[Answer] What is one of the terms used for a group of kangaroos?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is one of the terms used for a group of kangaroos?"

...The kangaroo is a marsupial from the family Macropodidae (macropods, meaning "large foot"). In common use the term is used to describe the largest species from this family, especially those of the genus Macropus: the red kangaroo, antilopine kangaroo, eastern grey kangaroo, and western grey kangaroo. Kangaroos are indigenous to Australia. The Australian government estimates that 34.3 million kangaroos lived within the commercial harvest areas of Australia in 2011, up from 25.1 million one year earlier. A kangaroo court is a court that ignores recognized standards of law or justice, and often carries little or no official standing in the territory within which it resides. The term may also apply to a court held by a legitimate judicial authority who intentionally disregards the court's legal or ethical obligations. Kangaroos are often colloquially referred to as "roos". Male kangaroos are called bucks, boomers, jacks, or old men; females are does, flyers, or jills; and the young ones are joeys. The collective noun for kangaroos is a mob, troop, or court.

[Answer] 4. Hoping for a windfall, Ralph took a 'Chance' and ended up being told that he was not allowed to land on 'Go'. Instead, Ralph was sent directly to Jail without receiving any money whatsoever. Where is Ralph?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "4. Hoping for a windfall, Ralph took a 'Chance' and ended up being told that he was not allowed to land on 'Go'. Instead, Ralph was sent directly to Jail without receiving any money whatsoever. Where is Ralph?"

...1. On a "Monopoly" board 2. On Pandora 3. In "SimCity" 4. San Francisco What bad luck! Neither Ralph, nor any other player in the game of "Monopoly", is able to escape Jail when they draw the Chance card informing them of the task at hand: "Go to Jail. Go directly to Jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200." When told to go to jail (by any means), the player is unable to do anything but make their way behind bars as per the official rules of the game. Other cards pulled from 'Chance' and 'Community Chest' will allow player to head to specific squares on the board (purchased or not) and if 'Go' is passed, the player can claim their $200. Ralph can leave jail after three turns if he doesn't roll doubles to get out...or he can pay his fine, of course. Of course, when Ralph plays "Monopoly", Kyleisalive is always on hand to make sure he's not cheating...
