You must not insists on help people who don’t want it.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. insist on helping.
The underlined part is grammatically incorrect.
After a modal verb, we use the base form of a verb. Thus, use “insist” in place of “insists”.
The use of the phrase “insist on” is correct.
After the preposition “on”, we need an object of the preposition.
Thus, we will use the V-ing form of the verb “help” here i.e. "helping" (non-finite).
The correct sentence will be: You must not insist on helping people who don’t want it.
