Question #N788
The artist’s unique style, using bold colors and expressive brushstrokes, was immediately recognizable. It was something that made viewers ______ to look at her paintings for hours.
Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A. want
B. wanted
C. wanting
D. to want
Correct Answer is: A
The verb "want" is the correct choice because it agrees in number with the singular subject "viewers." The other choices are incorrect because they do not agree in number with the subject. "Wanted" is the past tense of "want" and is not appropriate in this context. "Wanting" is a present participle, which cannot stand alone as a verb. "To want" is an infinitive, which can be used as a noun or adjective, but not as a verb in this context.
