Correct Answer: Even the most wise don't


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation:

The error is in the use of wise . The correct form should be wisest instead of wise . The word wise is an adjective used to describe someone's level of wisdom. When comparing different levels of wisdom, the superlative form is wisest .

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Even the wisest don't know what's hidden in the depths of their being.
