• B. The pain was too much to be born.
• C. The message was borne by a messenger.
• D. A new baby was borne yesterday.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The message was borne by a messenger.

The words "born" and "borne" have different meanings:

• "Born" refers to birth or coming into existence (e.g., "She was born in 1990").

• "Borne" is the past participle of "bear", meaning carried or endured (e.g., "The burden was borne by the workers").
