    This question consists of a sentence which is divided into

    four parts numbered (1) to (4). Only one part of the sentence is not acceptable in standard written English. Identify the part which contains an error.
    A She insisted to go Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B to the conference alone, Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C even though her manager Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D had advised her otherwise. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The verb "insist" is followed by "on + gerund" rather than an infinitive. The correct phrasing should be "She insisted on going" instead of "She insisted to go."
