alleryWhich sentence correctly follows the rule about preposition + gerund?
AHe insists to go there.
BHe insists on going there.
CHe insists for going there.
DHe insists at going there.
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. He insists on going there.
The verb "insist" is followed by the preposition "on" and then a gerund: "insist on going." Option A is a common error because the infinitive is not used here.
