Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B. wants

Explanation

The subject 'The Headmaster' is third person singular, so the simple present verb takes -s: 'wants'. 'Want' is a stative verb (expresses a state of mind) and is normally not used in continuous tenses, so 'is wanting' and 'was wanting' are wrong. Hence the answer is wants.कर्ता 'The Headmaster' third person singular है, इसलिए Simple Present में क्रिया के साथ -s लगता है: 'wants'। 'Want' स्थितिबोधक (stative) क्रिया है जो सामान्यतः continuous काल में प्रयुक्त नहीं होती, इसलिए 'is wanting' और 'was wanting' गलत हैं। अतः उत्तर wants है।
