48. Jane told Marcos that in spite to him being small, he would still be a great asset to the
team because of his athletic abilities.

a) that in spite to him being small, he would still (Correct usage is "in spite OF" not "in spite TO"

b) in spite of his being of small stature, he possibly might (Overly wordy, when compared to the correct answer

c) that despite he is small, he could yet ("Despite he is small" does not making grammatical sense

d) that in spite of him being small, he would definitely

e) because he was being small, despite that, he could still (Poor sentence structure

Quote:
Can anyone explain for me why we choose d?
And "him being" or "his being"
Thanks in advance
