Answer & explanation

Complete sentence: I can't pretend to know much about it. "I can't pretend to know much about it" means I do not claim to know a lot about it.
| Option | Used to show | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) much for it | "Know" is not followed by "for" before a topic. "Know much for it" is not English. | – |
| (2) if you tell me | "Know if you tell me" leaves "know" without the thing known. The sentence does not make sense. | – |
| (3) much about it (answer) | Know much about something means to have a lot of knowledge of it. "Know" takes about before the topic, and "much" tells how much one knows. | I don't know much about computers. |
| (4) yesterday | "Know" needs an object here, and "yesterday" clashes with the present "can't pretend". | – |
