Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. used to.
- The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
- The given sentence is talking about a past habitual action.
- 'Want to' denotes something that the person would like to do in the future.
- Therefore it is grammatically incorrect as the given sentence is expressing a past action.
- And in such cases 'used to' should be used instead of 'want to'.
- 'Used to' is a modal verb. It means done or experienced in the past but no longer done or experienced.
