To identify what is going on in the story and to understand the plot alot easier
Possibly, the word needed to fill the blank and complete the
sentence would be ‘overall’, which means the ‘added’ or the ‘totaled’ let’s say
score of a certain aspect. The sentence would be:
The overall combined score moved the competitor to the top of
the scoreboard.
The sentence means that the competitor or candidate, possibly
in a contest of example, sports have different scores and when added, the total
score put the person (the competitor) atop everyone else during the
competition.

Thank you to all that came in this winter coldness. You were all very brave to have come to....
This tells me that Ralph has a lot of weight on his back. Everyone depends on him which makes him stressed and not want to deal with anything. He doesn't want to be the leader. This moment foreshadow's that something is going to come up and Ralph needs to take the leader position.
Best of luck,
