Question

when i was in ninth grade, i wol out for the lacrosse team, even though i had never played before. my older sister had been a star goalie when she was my age, and i wol to follow in her footsteps.
fill in the blanks in order.
○ tried . . . . want
○ tried . . . . wanted
○ try . . . . want
○ try . . . . wanted

Explanation:

The narrative is set in the past (ninth grade, "had been a star goalie"), so all verbs must be in past tense. "Tried" is the past tense of "try", and "wanted" is the past tense of "want", which matches the past-time context of the story.

Answer:

tried . . . wanted
