Question

Find the grammatically incorrect part of a sentence, if any.

[A] Many middle-class individuals [B] find that they cannot get good medical attention [C] despite they need it badly [D] because of the high cost of treatment.

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. No Error

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

C

Part C of the sentence should be changed to "...though they need it badly...". The use of the conjunction "though" to join the two clauses is more suitable than the preposition "despite" which means' in spite of'.
