• A. saw, went
  
• B. will see, will go
  
• C. see, goes
• D. is seeing, is going
  

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

see, goes

Option C is the correct answer because ‘goes’ is the present simple form of ‘go’ which is used with he/she/ it. To see, means to watch or visualise something from the eyes, hence it is correct to say that the speaker wanted to see Margaret before she goes.

Option A is incorrect because it is in the past tense while the statement is in the present tense

Option B is incorrect because ‘will see’ isn’t the future tense, whereas the statement is in the present tense.

Option D is incorrect becaue ‘is seeing’ is used for third person statements.although it is in the present tense, it is incorrect because isseeing is never preceded by ‘to’.
