+1 for A.

(A) insist that the best way to ensure freedom of religion for all citizens is to reduce --> Correct, " insist + that " and " to + verb " used properly to convey the intended meaning of the sentence

(B) have insisted the best way freedom of religion can be ensure for all citizens is reducing

(C) insist the best way to ensure freedom of religion for all citizens is the reduction of

(D) are insistent that the best way freedom of religion can be ensured for all citizens is the reduction of

(E) insist that the best way for the ensurance of freedom of religion for all citizens is to reduce

Hence, A.

MANHATTAN REVIEW OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:



Have insisted’ in B is the incorrect tense. It implies an action which has occurred up to the present time. However, the sentence as written implies that the civil libertarians still insist something. The sentence can be simplified to a choice among ‘the way is to reduce’, ‘the way is the reduction’ or ‘the way is reducing’. Only the first is correct. Eliminate C and D. A is more efficient than E. A is correct.
