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

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

B: Replace the comma between limited and specifically with a semicolon.

Explanation:

 We should replace the <em>comma</em>  with a <em>semicolon</em>  between the words <em>limited</em> and <em>specifically</em>  because there are two independent clauses with thoughts related to each other; in this case, we cannot use a comma. Also, the word specifically  is an <em>adverb</em>  indicating some link to the first clause, <em>but</em><em> without a coordinating conjunction </em><em>and therefore</em><em>, a semicolon is necessary.</em>

Which of these is a run-on sentence?
Allushta [10]

C. I thought about what he'd said soon I realized he was right.


A run-on sentence is a sentence that contains two independent clauses that are not joined with the correct punctuation. An independent clause has a subject and verb and contains a complete thought. Sentence C has two complete thoughts with a subject and verb, but no punctuation to connect them correctly. The independent clauses are "I thought about what he'd said" and "Soon I realized he was right". To correct this sentence the author would need to use a semicolon (;) between the clauses or use a comma and conjunction. While some of the other sentence contain extra conjunctions (option B and D), they don't have two subject and verb phrases. Option A uses a semicolon to join the two independent clauses which makes it grammatically correct.
