Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has ordered a probe ________ how a Singapore-bound flight took off hours ________ of schedule, leaving behind 35 passengers at the Amritsar airport.
The probe was ________ after a Scoot Airline flight, originally scheduled to depart at 7.55 p.m., took off at 3 p.m.
Answer: B
'Into', 'ahead' and 'initiated' fit. One orders a probe into an incident, and a flight that left hours ahead of its schedule departed early. The probe was initiated after the early take-off, which is the natural collocation.
'Probe of' and 'probe over' are not the usual forms, 'hours behind' or 'hours advance of schedule' do not make the sense of departing early, and 'hours before of schedule' is ungrammatical.
'Initiated' collocates with 'probe', and 'ahead of schedule' is the usual phrase for something that happens earlier than planned.
