E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

The research note also highlighted that despite the sharp improvement in economic activity, the key services sector is still struggling. Here, lsquo;in spitersquo; must be replaced by either lsquo;in spite ofrsquo; or lsquo;despitersquo;. lsquo;In spitersquo; is never used without lsquo;ofrsquo;. Since, lsquo;despitersquo; is more formal, replacing with lsquo;despitersquo; sounds more correct.
