2. Offside is judged only when the ball is passed forward.
3. A player is sent off for receiving two yellow cards.
4. A corner kick is taken from the centre circle.

Correct answer: A player is sent off for receiving two yellow cards.

In football, a player who receives two yellow cards in a match is sent off and shown a red card. The other statements are incorrect because goalkeepers can handle the ball in their penalty area, offside is not judged only on forward passes, and corner kicks are taken from the corner arc.
