Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The head of state is the ceremonial and symbolic figurehead of a country, representing the unity and sovereignty of the nation. Shooting the first ball at a sporting event is a symbolic gesture and does not involve any actual policy-making or diplomatic negotiations, which are typically the roles of the chief executive, chief legislator, and chief diplomat. The commander in chief is responsible for the military, but this role does not apply in this scenario.
