Identify the option that best corrects the highlighted part of the sentence for proper grammar and usage.

She insisted to go to the market.

Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation

Answer: (B) insisted on going

Concept (Insist On + Gerund) Insist के साथ preposition on आता है, जिसके बाद gerund आता है। Infinitive का प्रयोग 'insisted to go' में गलत है। अतः सही विकल्प 'insisted on going' है।
✓ सही वाक्य: She insisted on going to the market.
Examiner का जाल यह है कि विकल्प A, 'to going', गलत preposition के साथ है, और विकल्प C, 'insisted going', में preposition ही नहीं है।
Concept (Insist On + Gerund) Insist takes the preposition on, followed by a gerund. Using the infinitive in 'insisted to go' is wrong.
✓ Correct sentence She insisted on going to the market.
Examiner's Trap Option A, 'to going', and C, 'insisted going', have the wrong preposition or none at all.
