Correct Answer: despite of technological innovations


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

The error in the original sentence was the use of despite of. The word despite is a preposition that already carries the meaning of in spite of or regardless of . The correct structure is simply despite + noun phrase.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Despite technological innovations and powerful analytical tools, nothing is happening.
