Correct Answer: does, to
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
The correct sentence is: A Wiseman does not pretend to know everything.
"Does" should be used with a singular noun since it is the correct form of the verb "do" as per the subject-verb agreement. Moreover, the preposition "to" should be used before the verb "know" to form an infinitive verb form.
This helps in conveying the intended meaning of the sentence that a man who is wise does not pretend that he knows everything.
