It's 'runner-up' meaning the one behind the first.

Sorry about that! By the way, you haven't learnt the 'done' and 'did' lesson yet! And it's 'because'. If you want to shorten it I think using an apostrophe to show some letters missing would be better - 'cos.
That's the end of today's English lesson! :lol:

She also missed out the apostophe in its, as she meant it is because.

Regardless, the extra space really shouldn't stop Daisy's statement being understood.

runner-up
runner-up
runner -up
runner- up
runner - up

The difference in those is small, and the spaces don't change the meaning of the word.

"Listen to its terrible groans and creaks!" yelled Julian, almost beside himself with impatience.
