Hello,

Which alternative (a, b or c) fits in the following sentence:

Mike ---- going to Brazil, but he -- to go to Peru.

a) considers / isn't wanting

b) is considering / doesn't want

c) considers / doesn't want

Thanks

Actually, colossal did try first—he/she picked c.

The answer is b. We don't use the simple present like that.

The OP has edited the first post and removed the question. I'm closing the thread.
