Identify the sentence/s in which the highlighted words have been used correctly in the context
1. In spite the cold he decided to climb the mountain top.
2. Despite of the warning she was determined to swim the entire distance.

Correct option is D

· Explanation:
· Sentence 1: The phrase "in spite the cold" is incorrect. The correct phrase is "in spite of the cold," which includes the preposition "of."
· Grammatical Rule: "In spite of" is a prepositional phrase used to indicate a contrast. It requires the preposition "of" to be grammatically correct.
· Sentence 2: The phrase "despite of the warning" is also incorrect. The correct form is "despite the warning," as "despite" does not take the preposition "of."
· Grammatical Rule: "Despite" is a preposition and does not require "of" after it; it should directly precede the noun or noun phrase.
· Conclusion: Both sentences contain errors, so the correct answer is neither 1 nor 2.
