Read a paragraph from a narrative essay entitled “Mount Rushmore.” Someday, I want to travel the world, but first I’d like to see the sights of the United States. I [WOL] pictures of Mount Rushmore, and have always wanted to visit this historic location. Which verb best fills in the blank?

“Have seen” is the present perfect tense, which describes an experience that happened at an unspecified time and is relevant now. It also fits with “have always wanted,” keeping the verbs in a consistent tense. The sentence should read, “I have seen pictures of Mount Rushmore.”
