Answer 1

Answer:

everyone opposed him but he did not give up his resolution

Answer 2

In spite of everyone opposing him, he did not give up his resolution.

Explanation:

Prepositions are used to provide a relationship between words in a sentence. Noun/gerund is the ‘ing’ form of the verb. For example, He is a good painter. He is also a good poet. These sentences can be changed in to ‘Besides being a good painter, he is a good poet. ‘Besides’ is a preposition.

Here the verb cannot be changed into the ‘ing’ form of the verb. In these cases we use being, having, etc., In the given sentences we use the gerund ‘opposing’ and the preposition ‘in spite of’ without changing the meaning of the sentence.

Prepositions vary for different kinds of sentences. The most widely used prepositions are to, in, at, for, by, etc., Examples: She goes to school by bus. She came at 3’o clock. She went for a walk.
