Bangla: আমরা জোর দিচ্ছি যে আর কোনো বিস্ফোরণ ঘটার আগেই আপনি সভাটি ছেড়ে চলে যান।
• Explanation:
-
"insist on" requires a possessive pronoun + gerund
-
অর্থাৎ, "insist on"-এর পরে pronoun-এর possessive form + (verb+ing) ব্যবহার হয়
-
তাই you এর পরিবর্তে your ব্যবহার করা হবে
• Other parts:
-
ক) insist on — Correct phrase (demand firmly)
-
গ) leaving — Correct gerund (verb acting as a noun)
-
ঘ) before — Correct conjunction
