| (A) I wanted to go alone but Arjun insisted on coming with me. | (II) insisted on | Insist on means to demand something firmly and refuse to give way. "but" shows Arjun went against the speaker's wish. Insist on is also followed by the -ing form "coming". |
| (B) He was successful because he focused on one thing at a time. | (IV) focused on | Focus on means to give all one's attention to something. Giving full attention to one task explains his success. |
| (C) The car in front of me stopped suddenly. Since I couldn't stop in time, I drove into it. | (I) drove into | Drive into means to hit something while driving. Not stopping in time leads to hitting the car ahead. |
| (D) He took over his father's business without any problems as he had been interning with the company for four years. | (III) took over | Take over means to take control of or responsibility for something from someone else. His years of interning made it easy to take charge. |
