[Grammar] We had a great time, ____ the awful weather. (can't use in spite of)

[Verify]

I can either use in spite or spite of in the gap.

Neither of these seem to make sense, however, spite of sounds closer to in spite of than in spite, so I'm guessing it should therefore make more sense.

Welcome to the forum, Verify.

You're right: neither alternative is correct. Who gave you this impossible exercise?

You're looking for a single word.

Note my changes above. You need to make the words/phrases that you were given as options stand out from the rest of the text. I have enclosed them in quotation marks. You could italicise them or put them in bold​.

I don't understand the question. Do you need a different word or phrase besides "in spite of"?

despite
except for
notwithstanding
