I choose Despite. I think Inspite in this case also works as the structure is" despite/ in spite of + N/Ving, Clause". |

I think "although" will follow by a clause, and "despite" = "in spite of" + nouns.
So in this poll, I use "despite" |

expecting the news is an complete clause?
Meanwhile, in Tdol's example, feeling tired is not a complete clause either.
How about this?
Pick the correct answer:
a) although raining, he came
b)although it rained, he came
What's the best one? |

What's the best one? | Hi belly_ttt
I think that the correct is" althought it rained, he came" |
