Discussion
Despite of their differences on matters of principle, they all agree on the demand for a hike in salary.
Answer: A
Correct answer: Despite their
Despite is already a preposition, so it takes its object directly and never needs of. The redundancy comes from confusing it with in spite of, which does require the preposition.
Both of these are correct and interchangeable:
- Despite their differences…
- In spite of their differences…
Mixing them into despite of is a very common error.
