Which of the following phrases (I), (II), and (III) given below each sentence should replace the phrase printed in bold letters to make the sentence grammatically correct? Choose the best option among the five given alternatives that reflect the correct use of phrase in the context of the grammatically correct sentence. If the sentence is correct as it is, mark (e) i.e., “No correction required” as the answer.
Despite of his heroics in the under-19 world cup final, Manjot did not get a good IPL contract.
I. In spite of his heroics
II. Although he is playing magnificently
III. Even after playing brilliantly
‘Despite of’ is incorrect usage. It should either be ‘Despite’ or ‘In spite of’. Hence, I is correct usage for the given sentence.
II is inconsistent in terms of its tense structure. The first part is in present tense while the second part is in past tense. Hence, II is incorrect.
III is also grammatically correct. Hence, option C is the correct answer. Thus, the correct answer is only I and III.
