A: The term "race" in English (and in use in other languages, like French) these days tends to refer mainly to physical traits, especially skin color and facial physiognomy. (Usage 100-150 years ago was rather different, in both English and French, but that would take us far afield, and it's probably today's English that you care about.) "Ethnicity" in contrast looks more like national origin or ancestry, cultural identification, traditions within one's family and the like. But it is also sometimes is used as a euphemism for race. Most people in the U.S. would probably treat "Asian" as a race, not distinguishing between Han or non-Han Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Hmong, etc., which might be treated as ethnicities. Most U.S. people would call American blacks and all dark-skinned Africans, whether Dinka (tall) or Bambenga (short), speaking Swahili or Khoisan or Yoruba, all as in a black "race" and leave the rest to "ethnicity." For my part, I'm not so interested in race as such, as in minor markers of population memberships: little details about the teeth that help us identify kinship across millenia between some northern Asian populations and those that settled the Americas across the Bering Strait and so on. But the distinction described is how most people in English use the terms.

A: A race is a competition where you are physically running. More specifically, running is the only objective in a race.

For example a track competition is a race.

A baseball game, football game, or soccer game can all be considered matches.

NOTE: However we usually say "a baseball game", "a football game", or "a soccer game".

Hope this helps!

A: Both are correct but mean different things. The first means that as the race finished he was strong, regardless as to how he ran the race - he might even have walked the course. This uses the adjective strong to describe the person. The second means he was running fast and well as he finished the race. This uses the adverb strongly to describe how he was running.

A: race = people, "the Aryan race", "the Caucasian race" etc.

breed = animals, "a breed of dog"

Sometimes we speak of people being "half-breed" but this is a slur that lowers them to the level of an animal.

Also sometimes we refer to people who want to have children as "breeders", again it is a bit of a slur, equating them with cattle and horses.

A: He finished the race in 10th place.
He finished 10th. (If you are going to be very short and they know you are talking about a race.)

A: I watch every Formula One race.

A: "He succeeded in qualifying for the final race" sounds fine, but "he achieved in..." sounds very odd.
Off the top of my head, I think the difference here is grammatical. One can "succeed in doing sth" but one "achieves something". "Succeed" can't take a direct object here (or the meaning changes) and instead relies on prepositions. "Achieve", however, needs to take a direct object, so it sounds weird when you don't include one.

For example:
"He succeeded in the race"
"He is succeeding in life"
"He will succeed as an actor"
If succeed takes a direct object, then this happens: "He succeeded his father" (He took over his father's position after he retired/died)

"He achieved his lifelong ambition of going to the moon"
"He achieved a Nobel Prize"
"He achieved very good exam results"
"He achieved his goal of qualifying for the final race"

A: "The human race is supposed to go extinct." Would be a bit more natural. Or you could say "The human race will eventually go extinct."
