Answer 1

If you agree. Why? Write down your points below: 

• Going away without receiving the prize is against the rules and regulations. 
• Every competition has rules and regulations. The participants should obey them. 
• If you break the rules, the competitions can’t be done properly. 
• The competitors came to the competition knowing fully well only one could win as it was an elimination contest. Then why go away without taking the prize? 
• If Felix and Antonio loved each other so much they should not have agreed to take part in the competition in public. 
• They both had tried hard to defeat the other. So why doesn’t the winner collect his prize?

If you disagree, write down the reasons:

• Actually, nobody had won in the contest. The referee and the two trainers had to separate the contestants. 
• Anybody has a right to refuse a prize. 
• By taking the prize before the large crowd the winner must have made the other person sad. 
• They both considered themselves as champions. 
• Taking part in a contest does not force anyone to accept the prize. 
• Their friendship was more valuable to them than the prize. 
• They did their best and that is their prize.
