Correct Answer: except


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Except means to not include something. This helps convey that he did not say anything to the speaker other than that he needed some money.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Despite and in spite mean regardless of.
  • Though means although, or in spite of the fact.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "He didn't tell me anything except that he needed some money."
