    A.

    The vacancy was filled

    B.

    by a young scholar

    C.

    who had an extensible knowledge

    D.

    of ancient art.

    Correct option is C


    Option (c) contains an error.
    · Explanation: The correct word is extensive, not extensible. Extensive means having a wide range, whereas extensible means capable of being extended, which is incorrect here.
    · Correct sentence: The vacancy was filled by a young scholar who had an extensive knowledge of ancient art.
    Grammatical rule used: Correct vocabulary usage based on context.
    · Explanation in Hindi: यहाँ "extensive" का अर्थ है "व्यापक ज्ञान," जो वाक्य में उचित है। "Extensible" का अर्थ "फैलने योग्य" होता है, जो यहाँ गलत है।
