I initially thought of including both the mother and the child, but the woman was reluctant to have their pictures take.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. was reluctant to have their pictures take.

  • We need to use the past participle form of the verb "take", which is "taken". Also, the subject of the sentence is "pictures" and not "their pictures".

So, the correct sentence is:

"I initially thought of including both the mother and the child, but the woman was reluctant to have their pictures taken."
