• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Answer 1

The correct option is E E

Here, the sentence is correct as is: it has a correct construction and there are no grammatical errors (the usage "persist in" is correct as it means 'continue in an opinion or course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition' and it fits the given context perfectly). Therefore E - no error should be the answer.
