योग्य उत्तर पर्याय २ (B) (wanted) आहे.
महत्त्वाचे मुद्दे (Key Points):
• इंग्रजीतील Stative Verbs (उदा. want, know, like, understand) यांच्या वापरावरील हा प्रश्न आहे.
• व्याकरणिक नियम:
• 'want' सारखी stative verbs सामान्यतः continuous काळामध्ये (-ing प्रत्यय लावून) वापरली जात नाहीत (उदा. wanting म्हणत नाहीत).
• त्यामुळे 'was wanting' हा पर्याय चुकीचा ठरतो.
• भूतकाळात विचारणा केल्याच्या संदर्भात wanted हे Simple Past रूप सर्वात योग्य ठरते.
• त्यामुळे पर्याय २ अचूक आहे.
• महत्त्वाची टीप: 'want' सारखे क्रियापद चालू काळात (continuous) वापरले जात नाही, त्यामुळे Simple Past मधील 'wanted' योग्य आहे.
The correct answer is Option B (wanted).
Key Points:
• This question tests the use of stative verbs (verbs of perception, thought, or emotion like *want*, *know*, *like*, *understand*), which are generally not used in continuous tenses.
• Grammar Rule:
• Stative verbs like 'want' are rarely used in the continuous form (-ing).
• Since the second clause uses 'am doing' (present) but refers to a past inquiry or general state, or if we look at standard narrative past, wanted is the standard past form.
• Let's check options: 'was wanting' (incorrect continuous form of stative verb), 'have wanted', 'want', 'wanted'.
• In past narrative contexts, 'My uncle wanted to know...' is grammatically flawless.
• Key Takeaway: Stative verbs like 'want' do not take continuous forms. The simple past form 'wanted' is correct.
