Solution
The correct option is A Firm saying
The meaning of the word 'insistence' is 'the quality of insisting that something is the case or should be done'.From the options, the phrase 'firm saying' is most relevant to the underlined word, as it was his mother's firm saying to Mashelkar to do higher studies.Hence option A is correct.The
other phrases 'being inspired', 'being inspected' and 'being instigated' do not
relate to the word as none of them mean 'to firmly say that something should be done'.
Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
