inspite of being clever he failed.

Answer 2

ANSWER:

The given sentence, when it is corrected, it will be converted as ‘In spite of being clever, he failed.’

EXPLANATION:

    When the preposition ‘in spite of’ is used, there is no need to use the word ‘and’ within the statement or sentence.  

   Here, the given sentence gives us the information that even though he was clever or opted for clever ways, he failed. Cleverness can never help us to gain success in our lives. It is only through hard work that one can succeed in his own life.
