read the paragraphs from the essay lisa is writing. she wants to add a sentence that addresses an opposing point of view. choose the sentence that best achieves this purpose.\ni believe it is true that we should always celebrate our successes. but i think it is equally important to consider how we define success. does success always have to mean winning? truly, success and winning are two different concepts. we should redefine success to include hard work regardless of outcome.\nlast year i had a great time playing on our school softball team with everyone, but there was room for improvement. we had a winning season and a great time together, but lost our last game in the district championship, and therefore did not have a celebration party afterwards. we all went home and never had a chance to talk about all the fun we had or celebrate our many successes as a team. it was a disappointing way to end our season. that experience made me realize that we should have had a party whether or not we won the district championship—as is commonly done in many other schools.\nthis year, i have proposed that our team do precisely that. ive asked our coaches to honor the dedication of our team by hosting an end of the season party—whether we win or not. lets work together to redefine what it means for our team to have a successful season.\nthe winning team is acknowledged with a trophy and our party would not take away from their achievement.\nit is unfortunate that the many people who were looking forward to a celebration were denied this opportunity.\na party would serve as both a team bonding experience and an opportunity to reflect on the season as a whole.\nthe team would certainly try harder if there were a celebration to anticipate at the end of a competitive season.
