Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. didn't want to go on staring but it.
- The sentence talks about an action that has already been done in the past.
- Hence, use of doesn't is incorrect and the correct tense form to use will be past tense.
- Thus, "didn't want" is correct to use here.
- The correct sentence will be: She didn't want to go on staring but it was very difficult to turn her eyes away.
