The answer is D. after "items," you want to insert a colon, then go on to list your items. colons set off a list. semicolons, as in choice A, are used to connect two independent clauses--that is, two complete thoughts--and join them into a single sentence if their subject matter is related. semicolons aren't used to set off a list in this way because "milk, bread, and eggs" is not a complete thought. choice B is incorrect because list items do not need to be contained in parentheses. choice C is incorrect because it's unclear; "items" is followed by a comma, but you need to use commas for your list items as well. a reader could mistake "items" as a part of the list, when the list only consists of foods.

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.
