Discussion
Choose the most appropriate alternative from the options given below to complete the following sentence:
Despite several ___ the mission succeeded in its attempt to resolve the conflict.
Answer: B
The word is setbacks.
'Despite' introduces something that would be expected to prevent the outcome in the main clause. The mission succeeded, so the blank needs a word for obstacles or reverses: despite several setbacks, the mission succeeded.
'Attempts' gives no contrast and clashes with 'its attempt' later in the sentence. 'Meetings' and 'delegations' are ordinary parts of a peace mission, not things it succeeds in spite of, so 'despite' would make no sense with them.
