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

Is it possible to purchase the book by using my credit card?when i click on the link for purchase it takes me through paypal.

I don't want to use Paypal and I also wonder whether I can use the visa/master etc. directly?

It is in GMAT Verbal grammar book - Part 2 - Practice test 2 - Question 48

This may help: https://www.englishforums.com/English/De ... q/post.htm

Also see the post above with comments why each answer choice is incorrect (sorry, I accidentally deleted your original question, thinking it was a doublepost at first)
