Discussion
Fill in the blank in the sentence given by choosing the most appropriate word/words from the options given below :
The meeting will be held __________ the low attendance.
Answer: D
The correct option is inspite of.
The blank is followed by a noun phrase, 'the low attendance', so a preposition meaning 'regardless of' is needed: the meeting will be held in spite of the low attendance. (The standard spelling is 'in spite of'; the paper prints it as one word.)
'Even when', 'although' and 'even if' are conjunctions and must be followed by a clause with a verb, such as 'although attendance is low', not by a noun phrase alone.
