Answer» The correct answer is option 1. The word 'despite' means 'without being affected by something' or 'notwithstanding something', which isn't the CASE here. So, it must be replaced. The sentence implies that 'because of his negligence the company suffered a heavy loss'. 'With REGARD to' means 'as concerns' or 'in respect of something'. It does not fit the context of the sentence and therefore can't be used. 'On account of' means 'because of something'. It completely fits with the context of the sentence. 'Owing to' means 'because of something' or 'on account of something'. It also completely fits with the context of the sentence. 'In spite of' means 'without being affected by the particular factor MENTIONED'. It means the same as 'despite'. Therefore, it can't be used. Thus, the correct answer is option 1, i.e., Both B and C. |
