She insisted on she was innocent.

(2) No Improvement
(3) insisted that
(4) insisted with
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The correct improvement for the sentence is: insisted that.
Explanation: In the context of the sentence, the verb "insisted" should be followed by the conjunction "that" when introducing a statement or claim. This construction is necessary for grammatical correctness.
insisted on that
- This option adds the preposition "on" before "that," which is not the correct construction. When "insisted" is used to introduce a statement or claim, it should be followed by the conjunction "that" without any additional prepositions.
insisted with
- This option introduces a different preposition ("with") that is not appropriate in the context of expressing insistence on the truth of a statement.
