Fill in the blank with suitable form of verb.
Read ___________; nor to believe; but to weigh and consider.
Correct Option: 4
- Option 1 is grammatically incorrect due to the split infinitive.
- Option 2 is incorrect as it awkwardly places 'not' after 'to,' disrupting the flow and standard structure of the infinitive phrase.
- Option 3 changes the form of the word 'contradict' to an adjective, which does not fit the context of the verb needed.
- Option 4 uses the correct negative infinitive form 'not to contradict,' which fits grammatically and contextually in the sentence.
