Question

7 alice did not much like keeping so close to her: first, because the duchess was very ugly; and secondly, because she was exactly the right height to rest her chin upon alices shoulder, and it was an uncomfortably sharp chin. however, she did not like to be rude, so she bore it as well as she could.
8 \the games going on rather better now,\ she said, by way of keeping up the conversation a little.
9 \tis so,\ said the duchess: \and the moral of that is—oh, tis love, tis love, that makes the world go round!
10 \somebody said,\ alice whispered, \that its done by everybody minding their own business!\
7 alice did not much like keeping so close to her: first, because the duchess was very ugly; and secondly, because she was exactly the right height to rest her chin upon alices shoulder, and it was an uncomfortably sharp chin. however, she did not like to be rude, so she bore it as well as she could.
in paragraph seven of the passage, bore means
a allowed.
b escaped.
c hid.
d prompted.

Explanation:

In the context, Alice didn't like being close to the Duchess but didn't want to be rude. So she "bore" it. "Bore" here means endured or allowed (the situation). "Escaped" (B) would mean getting away, which she didn't do. "Hid" (C) and "prompted" (D) don't fit the context of dealing with an uncomfortable situation without being rude.

Answer:

A. allowed.
