Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence: He is confident to clear the interview. (वाक्य के रेखांकित भाग को बदलने के लिए सबसे उपयुक्त विकल्प चुनें: He is confident to clear the interview.)
The adjective 'confident' takes the preposition 'of' followed by a gerund ('confident of clearing')[span_104](start_span)[span_104](end_span). ('Confident' के बाद 'of + gerund' [confident of clearing] का प्रयोग व्याकरणिक रूप से सही है[span_105][start_span][span_105][end_span]।)

[4])
