Question

Select the option that best fills in the blank and completes the sentence given below.
\_\_\_\_ the fact that it was difficult, Dhananjay managed to solve the physics paper.

• A. Although
• B. Even though
• C. Because
• D. Despite

Hint:

"Despite" is used to introduce a contrast without needing a conjunction, while "Although" and "Even though" require the use of conjunctions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct word is "Despite" as it introduces a contrast between difficulty and the ability to solve the paper. "Although" and "Even though" can also introduce contrast, but they are not as grammatically correct here.
