Question
In the following question a sentence is given with a
blank followed by 5 options. From the given options choose the option which can fill the given blank most appropriately and make the sentence both contextually and grammatically correct. Despite __________ heavy rain, the match continued as planned.Solution
The correct form here is "having". After the phrase "despite," we use the gerund form (verb+ing) to express the idea of an ongoing action or state. So, the sentence would read, "Despite having heavy rain, the match continued as planned." Using "had" or "was having" would not be grammatically correct in this context. "To have" and "have" would also be incorrect because they do not fit after "despite."Â Â
