Correct Answer: I was wish


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : When expressing a desire or intention in the past tense, the correct structure is to use the past tense of the verb, which is "wished" in this case. The error lies in the incorrect use of the verb "was" instead of the past tense verb "wished".

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "I wished to meet her on her birthday."
