Answer and explanation:
When Louie was in Germany, he lost his hope for once and his power to compete has come to an end when he was facing some looming defeats at sudden speed. He was was not able to think or move normally because he spend most of his time in eating and not working on his ship. But when he began start working again, he touched the glories of success. Moreover he also showed examples of mischief when he stole the flag of German Chancellery.
I'm guessing a dummy run is something that you use a test dummy to see how something will work, example a crash dummy were they put inside a car that crashes to a solid object . a trial run/procedure kind.
(hope this help)
If you're planning to succeed at something, then the plan will include your progress as well as the best way to achieve the goal.
