Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Explanation : The word "despite" is a preposition, and it is typically followed by a noun or a gerund (a verb form ending in -ing) but not by a subjective pronoun like "he". To convey the idea that the patient died despite receiving medical help, we should use the gerund form of the verb "have", which is "having". So, it should be "despite having received" to maintain the correct sentence structure and convey the intended meaning.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: The patient died despite having received the best medical help.
