Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

A

arrives

B

arrive

C

arrived

is arriving

Correct Answer: B

Choice B is the best answer. Subjunctive after "insisted that."

Choice A is incorrect because indicative doesn't follow. Choice C is incorrect because past doesn't follow. Choice D is incorrect because progressive doesn't follow.
