B．assisted
C．insisted
D．preferred

网考网参考答案：C
网考网解析：
to insist on sth．(or doing sth．)意为“一再坚持(干)…”，注意介词on与insist的固定搭配。resist意为“抵抗”，放在此处不通。assist意为“帮助”，亦不合题意。prefer意为“宁肯”，与上下文不符，同时也不能和on连用。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
