Question

Complete the sentence with the most suitable option:
________ her poor health, she did not attend the meeting.

• A. Because of
• B. Inspite of
• C. Despite
• D. As a result

Answer 1

The correct option is A Because of

Prepositional phrases are a group of words containing preposition which lacks either a verb or a subject. Such phrases always have two basic parts: object and preposition. Prepositions are mostly followed by objects.

Using option A will justify all the above rules. 'Because of' is the preposition and 'poor health' is the object. 'Because of her poor health' is a prepositional phrase.

Options B, C, and D are not creating prepositional phrases with object 'poor health'.

Thus, option A is the correct answer.
