B. Some learned men are very candid.
C. Some learned men are not persons who acknowledge merit in a rival.
D. Some learned men are persons who are very candid.
E. Some learned men are not candid.
F. Some persons who recognize merit in a rival are learned.

Solution

In option A, E is not a valid conclusion from A and B.

In option B, F cannot be inferred from A and C.

In option C, E cannot be concluded from A and D.

In option D, If some learned men are candid but all candid men recognize merit in a rival, it can be concluded that some men recognize merit in a rival are learned.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
