Question

filling the blanks with the appropriate prepositional phrase _______ several warnings he continued to swim​

Answer 1

Despite several warnings, he continued to swim.

Answer 2

Answer:

Despite several warnings he continued to swim.

Explanation:

• Prepositions denote the relationship between nouns, pronouns etc.
• They indicate time, location etc.
• For example: I saw the pen on the table.
• The word "despite" means 'in spite of'.
• "Despite" is a preposition used to indicate contradiction in a statement.
• In this sentence, "several warnings" had been given to the doer but "he went on swimming".
• So there are two opposing ideas.
• Therefore, the correct answer is "despite".
