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

Hi guys, Can you give me a 2 to 3 paragraph summary of the Book, Final Season, by Tim Green? Thanks a lot.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Ben Redd has football in his blood. With his two older all-star brothers and their NFL dad being football royalty, it was only natural that sixth-grade quarterback Ben follow in their footsteps. Gifted with speed and a rocket arm, Ben has his sights set on the NFL. And his chance to shine is on the horizon, especially with the championship game against the tough rival team, Penn Yan.

But when his dad receives awful news—that he has an incurable disease called ALS, no doubt triggered by those hard hits he took on the field—the whole family is turned upside down. Now Ben’s mom is determined to get Ben to quit football for good.

Ben isn’t playing just for himself, though. This might be his dad’s last time ever as a coach. And Ben’s lively teammates, including the new girl on the team, Thea, need a quarterback who can lead them to a victory. He can’t—he won’t—give up. But as Ben struggles on the field from the pressures of winning, and as he watches the heavy toll ALS is taking on his dad, he begins to question if this will truly be his final season.

What event brought the end of the Mesozoic Era?
Afina-wow [57]
The most probable answer to this problem would be C. A global mass extinction.

The Mesozoic Era or what they commonly refer to as the age of the dinosaurs, is yet to be established as to what really did cause the extinction of life during this era. The popular belief and what is shared to the public to be remembered is that it was caused by an asteroid impact. The dust and ashes that it produced blocked the sky for days which caused the continuous death of organisms. In other sources, it can be said that massive volcanic eruptions occurred and filled the atmosphere with carbon dioxide. With the help of microbes eating carbon dioxide, they superheated the planet because in the process, these microbes eat carbon dioxide and release methane. Another one would be massive and continuous volcanic release of lava. It wasn't exactly determined if either one or maybe all of them occurred at once to wipe out life on that era.
