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 sentence contains a subject-verb agreement error and an incorrect preposition.
The verb "insists" is the incorrect form; it should be the base form "insist" when used with "you."
Additionally, the correct preposition to use after "insist" in this context is "on," indicating the action being insisted upon.
The phrase “insist on helping” uses the gerund “helping” as the object of the preposition “on.”
The correct sentence uses the base form of the verb "insist" and the preposition "on," making it grammatically accurate.
Thus, the corrected sentence would be:
You must not insist on helping people who don’t want it.
