(3) insisted that he should go
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct choice is the first option .
The phrase "insisted to go" should be replaced with "insisted upon going" to convey the intended meaning that he strongly asserted or demanded to go with the speaker.
When using the verb "insist", it is followed by the preposition "on" or "upon", and then the gerund form of the verb, which is
"going" in this case. Therefore, "insisted upon going" is the correct form.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: He insisted upon going with me.
