    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to substitute the bold

    segment in the given sentence. She insisted to go to the meeting despite the heavy rain.
    A insisted for going Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B insisted on going Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C insisted to going Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D insisted on go Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The verb "insist" is followed by the preposition "on" and a gerund (verb + ing). So, the correct construction is "insisted on going."
    ā€œInsisted to goā€ is incorrect because "insist" does not take the infinitive ā€œto + verb.ā€
    Other options are either grammatically incorrect or awkward in structure.
