Correct Answer: Bore away
Solution : The correct phrase to fill in the blank is the second option.
Bore away is a phrasal verb that means to win or carry off something, such as a prize, in a competition. It accurately conveys that the students won the prizes.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Bore on means to continue or persist.
Bear on means to be relevant or related to a situation.
The other options don't fit the context and don't convey the idea of winning prizes.
So, the sentence should be: "Students of St. Xavier’s bore away all the prizes."
