The government always _______ to increase taxes.

• A. wants
• B. wanted
• C. is wanting
• D. has wanted

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Option A is the correct answer bacause ‘to want’ mea Sri wishes for a particular thing or a plan for action, and the government always wishes to increase the taxes so it is correct, as it doesn’t specify a particular tense because it is generic.

Option B is incorrect because ‘wanted’ means past tense but the government still wants to increase the taxes.

Option C is incorrect because ‘is wanting’ means the government only wishes for tax increment in the present,which is incorrect because that statement doesn’t specify a period of time.

Option D is incorrect because ‘has wnated’ Is the past tense while the statement is in the present tense.
