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
We can complete the sentence as "According to your textbook, a hypothetical example is an imaginary story that makes a general point," option 4.
<h3>What is a hypothetical example?</h3>
As the name suggests, a hypothetical example is simply an example that is not about a real story. It is an imaginary story, something fictitious, whose purpose is just to illustrate a point.
You can be reading a text where the author gives you a hypothetical example just to have you imagine a situation that proves his point. He can, for example, ask you to imagine yourself doing something that you would never do or have never done.
With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the answer provided above is correct. Option 4 is the best answer.
