    grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If the sentence is errorless, mark 'no error' as the answer.

    A A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The correct phrase is "Despite the rain," not "Despite of the rain." "Despite" is a preposition and does not require "of." The rest of the sentence is grammatically correct.
