    B 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The phrase "despite of" is incorrect. The word "despite" is already a preposition, so it should not be followed by "of." The correct phrase is simply "despite facing".

    The correct sentence should read: "The book's protagonist, despite facing numerous challenges, manages to overcome them all by the story's end."
