The team won admiration for fair play and good sportsmanship. They lost the football game. (complex sentence)

【正确答案】 Although they lost the football game, the team won admiration for fair play and good sportsmanship.

【答案解析】 本题要求把句子改写成复合句。题目中的两个句子是让步关系，因此可以在第二句话前加上although构成复合句，并把第二句话调至第一句话的前面，同时注意although的首字母要大写，且不可与but连用。
