Solution

The correct choice that completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English is "gave a haughty". The sentence would read: "The champion lost all of our respect when she snatched the microphone and gave a haughty victory speech." This is because "haughty" is an adjective that describes the noun "victory speech". The other options either use incorrect verb tenses or misuse adverbs.
