Correct Answer: bore


Solution : The second option is the correct answer.

Explanation:
Bore is the past tense of the verb bear, which means to carry or support. In this context, it suggests that the students of St. Xavier's carried or took away all the prizes.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • Bearing refers to the manner in which something or someone carries themselves.
  • Borne is the past participle of bear.
  • Bears is the present tense of bear.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: Students of St. Xavier’s bore away all the prizes.
