Explanation:

- Option 1: "bearing" is the present participle form of "bear." It's used in continuous tenses or as a gerund. Not suitable here as the sentence requires a past tense.

- Option 2: "bore" is the simple past tense of "bear." It correctly describes an action completed in the past, which fits the context of winning prizes.

- Option 3: "borne" is the past participle form of "bear." It’s often used with auxiliary verbs in passive voice or perfect tenses. Not appropriate here for a simple past event.

- Option 4: "bears" is the present tense of "bear." It doesn’t fit because the sentence is about a past event.

The correct answer is Option 2: bore.
