Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
I still enjoyed the week despite of the weather.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. despite the weather.
The underlined part of the sentence is grammatically incorrect.
The sentence implies that the enjoyment of the week was not affected by the weather.
With "despite" we do not use the preposition "of".
Example: John’s company is doing extremely well despite the recession.
Thus, "despite the weather" is the correct substitution.
The correct sentence will be: I still enjoyed the week despite the weather.
