The word ‘Despite’ does not take ‘of’ with it as despite means ‘Inspite of’. So, we can either use ‘Inspite of’ or ‘Despite’ |
The correct sentence will be: Despite his efforts, he couldn’t get a decent job. Or Inspite of his efforts he couldn’t get a decent job. Hence, the error is in 1st option |
