WBCS Preliminary Examination 2015 — General Studies · Question 2 of 200

Q2
EnglishParts of Speech
Fill in the blank with the correct word: ______ his illness, he attended the function.
  1. a.Inspite
  2. b.Due
  3. c.As of
  4. d.Despite

Answer: (D) Despite

'Despite' is the correct answer because it means 'in spite of' or 'without being affected by the thing mentioned.' 'Despite his illness' correctly expresses that the illness did not prevent him from attending. 'Inspite' is not a standard single word (it should be 'in spite of'), and 'due' or 'as of' do not fit grammatically.
