Answer:

CH

3

)

2

CO

Which one is correct?

Answer 2

He preferred option (a) to speak with Mr X.

Correct option

• Here speaking and will speak won't work as speaking is a continuous tense and will speak is the future tense.
• So option (b) and option (c) are wrong.
• But here the option (a) to speak is the correct choice as he wished to talk to Mr.X, as here to speak is an infinitive which may come along with the verb wanted even it is a past tense.
• So option (a) is the correct answer.
