Answer 1

Answer:

'inspite of' is wrong in 1st sentence. It will be even though

In sentence 2 'is' is wrong it would be was

in sentence 3 'have' is wrong it would be had

and, in sentence 4 'minded' is wrong it would be mindedly.

I am sure these are correct

Hope It helps

Thank you

Answer 2

Answer:

1. In spite of should be replaced with even though

2. is is replaced with was

3. have is replaced with had

4.  absent-minded is replaced with absent-mindedly

Explanation:

1. although/even though + clause & despite, in spite of(+ verb + -ing)

For example- he lives in 1BHK house even though he is a millionaire.

                       Despite being a millionaire, he lives in a very small room.

2. As the Paragraph is in past tense but here it is given in present tense.

So, it was given in past tense.

3. Here also, it is given in present tense. So, it should be replaced with had.
