Answer 2

Hello FLVS students of 2021 and above! I understand that you don't know the answer just like I did before, so I'm going to help you out.

Answer:

A.) Delighting, sometimes with mean intentions

Explanation:

The meaning of gloat is the same as to brag/boast. It's basically saying the bragging/boasting in a mean way when your winning it can most likely end up being a very mean way. For example; "HAHAHAA YOUR SO BAD AT THIS SPELLING BEE," said my friend once. That's when I found out that he was a fake friend and eventually started to ignore him.

Hope this helps! :3
