    Question

    Fill in the blanks with the appropriate transition.
    His book managed to fetch him an amazing number ______ having a mediocre story.

    1. Although
    2. Even though
    3. Despite
    4. None of the above

    hintHint:

    Transitional expressions convey the relationship between two clauses or sentences.

    The correct answer is: Despite

      The correct answer is 'despite'.
      All the three transitional expressions-- 'despite', 'although', and 'even though'-- have similar meanings and convey a sense of contrast. However, what differs is how they are used. In this sentence, the correct transitional expression to use is 'despite'. Since 'despite' comes before a noun and gerunds can function as nouns, 'despite' is used here before 'having'.
