(A) visited Venice last spring, want
(B) have visited Venice last spring, want
(C) had visited Venice last spring, want
(D) visited Venice last spring, wants
(E) have visited Venice last spring, wants
neither of the X's =
not ONE of the X's.
As a result,
neither of the X's is SINGULAR.
In A, B and C,
want (plural) does not agree with
neither of my aunts (singular).
Eliminate A, B and C.
The present perfect (
has/have + VERBed) cannot serve to express an action performed at a particular moment in the past.
E:
both...have visited Venice last spring
Here,
have visited (present perfect) cannot serve to express an action performed LAST SPRING (a particular moment in the past).
Eliminate E.
The correct answer is
D.
