Answer:

<u>A dislike for</u>

Explanation:

When we are reading, we may an unusual or unknown word within a text, when this happens, we can use the surrounding information to help comprehend the meaning of that word, that is to say, we can use context clues. In the sentence the phrases "taste of oyster" and "had to hold his nose when he ate them" are all sings that he did not like it, thus "aversion" refers to "a dislike for", because when we dislike something, we try to avoid it with either of our senses (We prefer not to see it, not to touch it or not to smell it).

The other options are incorrect because you can not have a fondness for, nor fear or, the taste of an oyster. And since the action of holding his nose was of disgust, he did not have a weakness nor a desire for oysters.

Compare and contrast a graceful loser versus one who loses in a less than dignified manner. Provide examples to justify the answ
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

A graceful loser is a person that takes a loss "on the chin" and does not act bitter, but instead congratulates the winner in a non-malicious manner.

For example, if a player loses a tennis match and is quite happy to go across the court to shake the hands of his opponents, wish him well and walk away, then he is a graceful loser.

On the other hand, a person who loses in a less than dignified manner is a person that throws tantrums, complains, or rejects the result of a match because he feels he was treated unfairly or his opponent did not deserve the win.

An example is a tennis player attacking the umpire, shouting and rejecting the outcome because he feels some of the umpire's calls were wrong and his opponent was lucky to win
