Explanation

(a) He insisted to go to the market even though he was not feeling well. Incorrect. Rule: After the verb insist, we use on + gerund (verb + ing). Correct form: He insisted on going to the market even though he was not feeling well. (b) She said she would rather stay home than going to the party. Incorrect. Rule: After would rather, we always use the base form of the verb, not gerund. Correct form: She said she would rather stay home than go to the party. (c) The manager along with his team were present at the conference. Incorrect. Rule: When a singular subject is followed by phrases like along with, together with, as well as, the verb agrees with the main subject (not the phrase). Correct form: The manager along with his team was present at the conference. (d) The players were congratulated for their outstanding performance. Correct. Rule: Passive voice structure (subject + was/were + past participle) is correctly used here. (e) All are incorrect. Incorrect because option (d) is grammatically and contextually correct. Correct answer is (d).
