You score might reduce, the fact still remain that the answer is B (Sneer)
The main is the main koko
The answer is sneers, because the word 'scorns' is a transitive verb, so it doesn't need the word 'at'. You simple scorn something. For example, he scorns the efforts of others. The correct answer here is sneers, because the word 'sneers' is intransitive and almost always requires the preposition 'at' to connect it to an object. He sneers at the efforts of others. It would be scorns if the preposition 'at' was not in the statement. @myschool please take note

The correct answer is sneer because it is talking about the effort and not just the people. If the question was he boast so much of his efforts and he _ at others , then the answer is scorns and that is not the question. I hope the management see this and correct the mistake here
