Solution : The error lies in the second option "Ancients considered".
"The ancients" is a noun that means the people who lived in ancient times. The article "the" is used with an adjective to refer to a whole group of people. Here, "the ancients" is the right usage.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "The ancients considered that knowledge had its limits".
