B

C.

C

D.

D

E.

No error

Correct option is C

The correct answer is option (c).
Error Explanation:
· The phrase "to go for a" is incorrect because the verb "insist" is always followed by the preposition "on" and a gerund (verb+ing), not an infinitive (to + verb).
· The correct phrase should be "insisted on going for" instead of "insisted to go for".
Correct Sentence: "Despite being warned about the storm, he insisted on going for a late-night drive."
