It ends with the word losers because they are all losers in the end even if somebody wins. What was lost was the desire to win because everybody swam and some people thought that they are the best are they just can't do it. So mainly, nobody had the wit to think that the could do more than just win.

Read this sentence and answer the question.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the B) Players often return to a game after a head injury—they.

Explanation: By using a dash or specifically an "em-dash" ( — ) at the end of the sentence, the writer is clarifying or amplifying the information that he or she has already provided (that players often return to a game after a head injury). Options C and D are grammatically incorrect, so they should be discarded. Furthermore, since the two sentences ("players..." and "they do not want...") are not independent, the use of a semicolon (option A) should also be discarded.
