Your insistance. The second person who is been pointed out in question was insisting (attributive adjective) continuously that the rope of pearl was misplaced. Since the rope is subject not pearls that's why was is used other than were.

Hi Sameer,

'Insisting' act as a gerund here not a commanding word or subjunctive verb.

Hope its clear
