Question

We insisted that the girl ________ qualified for the job, but the manager insisted that she ________ the job because of her shyness as a receptionist.

1. A.
   should be; was offered
2. B.
   was not; should be offered
3. C.
   was; not be offered
4. D.
   should not be; was not offered

Answer 1

C
考查：insist 后跟从句，意为坚持说时后用陈述语气，意为坚持要求时后用虚拟语气，（should)do 结构，句意：我们坚持说这个女孩不适合这份工作，但是经理坚持要求她被提供给这份工作，由于她的害羞可作为一名接待员。故选C。
