Q5: Choosing the appropriate verb forms
Hello,
= This book is about a man who ______ (a. deserts, b. is deserting, c. either could be used) his family and ______ (a. is going, b. goes, c. either is possible) to live on a Pacific island.
I chose 'c' and 'c' to fill the given blanks, but they said that I was wrong and that the correct options were 'a' and 'b', i.e., deserts and goes. I'd like to ask you If I was actually wrong to choose 'c' and 'c' for the blanks, please. Is present continuous possible for the gaps?
Thank you.
