{'large spectrum antibiotic': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'ampicillin': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'paracetamol': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'chlormphenicol': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'pencillin': [3, 0, 0, 0]}

Option 1, Paracetamol, is not a large spectrum antibiotic. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer), but it does not have antibiotic properties.

Option 2, Penicillin, is a type of antibiotic but it is not a large spectrum antibiotic. Penicillin has a narrow spectrum of activity, meaning it is effective against a limited range of bacteria.

Option 3, Ampicillin, is the correct answer. Ampicillin is a large spectrum antibiotic. It belongs to the penicillin group of antibiotics but has an extended spectrum of activity, making it effective against a broader range of bacteria.

Option 4, Chloramphenicol, is not a large spectrum antibiotic. Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, meaning it is effective against many different types of bacteria, but it is not considered a large spectrum antibiotic like ampicillin.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, Ampicillin.
