Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is Earned successfully.

Explanation
Option 1: Earned successfully

In the context of the passage, "carried off the honors" suggests that the author successfully earned or achieved recognition and praise for his performance. This interpretation aligns with the idea of winning or gaining something through effort or skill.

Option 2: Conveyed discreetly

This option does not fit the context of the passage. The phrase "carried off" in this sense would imply moving something quietly or secretly, which does not match the description of receiving honors for a public performance.

Option 3: Transported locally

This option is also not appropriate in the context. "Transported locally" would imply physically moving something within a local area, which is not relevant to the idea of achieving honors.

Option 4: Rebuffed strongly

This option is incorrect as well. "Rebuffed strongly" means to reject or criticize sharply, which is the opposite of what the author is describing. The author is talking about receiving praise and recognition, not rejection.
