Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

The adjective extensible means able to be extended or stretched. However, the adjective extensive means covering a large area, and it correctly fits into the context of the sentence. It means that the scholar had a vast amount of knowledge.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The vacancy was filled by a young scholar who had an extensive knowledge of ancient art.
