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

Answer: Pearl should avoid studying in her bedroom at all. A desk with a well-cushioned, ergonomic swivel chair in another room would be perfect for her needs, since she would get all the comfort without the excessive relax that a bed or even a sofa would offer. If she insisted on using a sofa, though, it would be advisable to add one of those special sofa-tables where she could place her notes and rest her arms, since this makes the "sofa experience" feel closer to an academic activity and is likely to enhance her focus.
