In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative which will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "no improvement". Read in order (become) wise.
to become
The connector in order introduces purpose and must be followed by the infinitive form to + base verb. The bare base form "become" is ungrammatical here.
Substituting to become gives "Read in order to become wise," which correctly expresses the purpose of reading. "To have to be" implies obligation and "to have become" (perfect infinitive) wrongly suggests the wisdom precedes the reading.
