• A. Mohan said that he had bored everything for the sake of his child
• B. Mohan said that he had born everything for the sake of his child
• C. Mohan said that he had borne everything for the sake of his child
• D. Mohan said that he had bore everything for the sake of his child Hints none

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Mohan said that he had borne everything for the sake of his child

• Mohan said that he had borne everything for the sake of his child : "Borne" is the past participle form of "bear" in the context of enduring something (എന്തെങ്കിലും സഹിക്കുന്ന സന്ദർഭത്തിൽ), and it is used correctly to convey that Mohan endured everything for the sake of his child (മോഹൻ തൻ്റെ കുട്ടിക്ക് വേണ്ടി എല്ലാം സഹിച്ചു..)
• "Mohan said that he had bored everything for the sake of his child": "Bored" is the past tense of "bore," but in this context, "bore" means to carry or endure (വഹിക്കുക അല്ലെങ്കിൽ സഹിക്കുക), not to feel weary or uninterested (bored means ബോറടിക്കുന്നു).
• "Mohan said that he had born everything for the sake of his child": "Born" is also a past participle of "bear," but in this context, it implies giving birth rather than enduring (സഹിക്കുന്നതിനുപകരം പ്രസവിക്കുന്നതിനെ സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു).
• "Mohan said that he had bore everything for the sake of his child": "Bore" is the past tense of "bear," but it's not the correct form to use in reported speech.
