Hi!

<h2>The answer would be D, comparison. </h2>

This a comparison because you have <u>two pairs of contrasting words</u>. First you have the words win and lose, and then you have the words celebrate and dejection.

When you win and celebrate, <em>you acknowledge a significant or happy day or event with a social gathering or enjoyable activit</em>y, and when you lose and are dejected, <em>you are in a sad and depressed state in low spirit</em>s.

<u>Because of the contrast in these two clauses, the sentence would be a comparison</u>.
