Identify the proper explanation of the error in the given sentence. Mohan insisted to go there
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Error is in the sentence formation. Preposition and gerund are required. The correct sentence should read like this: Mohan insisted on going there.
The error lies in the phrase "insisted to go". The correct phrase should be "insisted on going".
The verb "insist" is usually followed by the preposition "on" and a gerund (verb+ing).
Thus, the error is in the preposition used i.e. "to" and the incorrect form of the verb i.e. "go" rather than using gerund form of the verb.
