A. knowing

B. knew

C. is knowing

D. knows

Answer: Option D

Solution (By Examveda Team)

In the given sentence "He speaks as the one who knows," the correct form of the present tense of the verb to fill in the blank is "knows."

The sentence is talking about the person "He" who is currently speaking and has knowledge. The present tense form "knows" indicates an action or state that is happening now or is generally true.

The other options are not suitable for this sentence. Option A, "knowing," is the present participle form and is not appropriate for the subject-verb agreement in the sentence. Option B, "knew," is in the past tense and does not match the present tense context of the sentence. Option C, "is knowing," is in the present continuous tense, which is not the correct form for this context.

Therefore, the correct answer is "knows" (Option D).
