Answer

The answer is: "When I was a child, I truly wanted to be a famous cook."

Explanation
Option 1: "When I was a child, I truly wanted to be a famous cook."

This statement correctly maintains subject-verb agreement. The subject "I" is singular, and the verb "wanted" is correctly conjugated to match the singular subject.

Option 2: "This restaurant were opened in 1955 and still stands to this day."

This statement does not maintain subject-verb agreement. The subject "restaurant" is singular, so the verb should be "was" instead of "were."

Option 3: "Most of the waiters shows up on time."

This statement does not maintain subject-verb agreement. The subject "waiters" is plural, so the verb should be "show" instead of "shows."

Option 4: "If anyone complains about a dish, the owner are sure to speak with them."

This statement does not maintain subject-verb agreement. The subject "owner" is singular, so the verb should be "is" instead of "are."
