Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
He has good ___________ over the world-famous languages.

• A. authority
• B. expertise
• C. hold
• D. command
• E. knowledge

Answer 1

The correct option is D command

Option D: 'Command' means 'great knowledge of a subject and an ability to use that knowledge'. Here the person 'he' has great knowledge of "the world-famous languages".

Hence this word forms a complete meaningful sentence and option D is correct.

Option A: 'Authority' is 'the power or right to give orders'.

Option B: 'Expertise' is 'expert skill or knowledge in a particular field'.

Option C: 'Hold' means 'power or control'.

Option E: 'Knowledge' means 'information acquired through experience or education'.

These words are not the most suitable to the sentence in meaning and relevance.

Hence options A, B, C and E are incorrect.
