Question

 If he ___ that he ____ to work there, everything would be OK now.

A．insisted, be sent

B．insisted, was sent

C．had insisted, be sent

D．had insisted, was sent

Answer 1

C

本题考查虚拟语气在insist从句中的用法。若insist表示“坚持要求做事”从句中应用should+v, should可省略；若insist表示“坚持说，坚持认为”则从句需根据句意选择合适的时态。本句句意为：如果他坚持要求被派往那儿的话，现在一切都好了。事实上并非如此。故选C。
