Either answer A or B i cant really decide but they both fit.
Answer:
The correct answer is B (to add personification to “his essay”
).
Explanation:
When the author says his essay won first place, he was over the moon, which means his essay was really good, so the author is adding personification to his "essay", BY SAYING it was over the moon. This is personification because his "essay" cannot literally jump over the moon. This is not possible, so by saying his essay was really good, comparing it to his essay was over the moon, the second sentence would be more personified than the first one.
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
