Unversed means not experienced or not skilled.-lore means traditional knowledge that a group may have.-scholarship is to do with educational acheivement-erudition means knowledge acquired from training-learning means that which has been learned-And benighted means intellectually or morally ignorant or overtaken by darkness.So none of the alternatives has the same meaning as unversed, but benighted comes the closest.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, it can mean one of three things: 1) "Overtaken by the darkness of the night; affected by the night", 2) "Involved in obscurity", and the most common usage, 3) " Involved in intellectual or moral darkness". It is the antonym of "enlightened."
