Identify the segment in the sentence, which contains the grammatical error.

Despite of her tiredness, Meera went into the kitchen to make some dinner for the children.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Despite of her tiredness.

  1. The error lies in part 4 of the statement because of the wrong use of "Preposition".
  2. We need to remove "OF" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  1. "Despite = Inspite of" we don't use "of" with despite.
  2. Hence, the chosen option will be correct.

The correct sentence will be- 

Despite her tiredness, Meera went into the kitchen to make some dinner for the children.
