Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution required’.
Despite of an injury, he won the match.
Option 1: No substitution required
Option 2: In spite off
Option 3: Despite
Option 4: In despite of
Correct Answer: Despite
Solution : The correct choice is the third option .
The correct phrase is "despite an injury", without the preposition "of". "Despite" itself means "in spite of" or "without being affected by", so the use of "of" after it is redundant and incorrect.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: Despite an injury, he won the match.
