Answer:
The central idea of the text is that there are situations in which winning is the most important thing, as well as how this victory was achieved.
Explanation:
"The importance of Winning" is a text that highlights how the sense of winning and losing is relative and variable in several different situations. In this text, we can see that the author states that we are taught, since we were children, that winning is not the most important situation in our lives, what matters is that we participate and have fun in a situation. This can be true in school competitions, or playing with our friends. However, there are situations in which winning is very important and the way you win is essential. An example of this, can be seen in politics and for that, the text addresses the presidential election of France where one of the candidates was an ultra nationalist who wanted to expel all immigrants from France, while the other candidate was a conservative politician more tolerant of immigration and cooperation with other countries. This was a case in which winning was of extreme importance for both candidates and migrants.

His stories tells of "the fall of those who stood in high degree" (The Monk's Tale).

Lucifer was regarded as one of the most high angels in God's kingdom. He was even named "<em>morning star</em>". But due to his arrogance, pride and self given importance, he became overcome with so much ego. He decided to revolt against God, resulting in him being thrown out of heaven. To this day, he is still in hell, suffering for the mistakes he had committed.
