Read the passage. Choose the best way to rewrite the words in quotes. If the words are already correct, select "no change."

Do you know what you "wanted" to become when you grow up? In the past, I "think" I "wished" to be a psychologist. I still "am respecting" people who devote their lives to helping people, and I am interested in how the mind works. Now, though, I "believed" I might want to be a guidance counselor. "Has" you figured out what you want to be?

1. wanted

A. want

C. are wanting
D. no change

2. am respecting

A. respecting
B. respects
C. respect
D. no change

No change doesn't seem right because the sentence is in the present tense and "wanted" is in the past tense. The word "wanting" doesn't fit in grammatically.
