In spite ____________, he was unhappy in his job.
A) of having a good salary
B) he had a good salary
C) of a good salary
D) having a good salary
Đáp án đúng: D. having a good salary
Loại kiến thức: Cấu trúc câu với "in spite of" và danh động từ.
Giải thích:
"In spite of" là cụm giới từ, và sau nó cần phải có một danh động từ (gerund), tức là một động từ có dạng "V-ing". Vì vậy, "having a good salary" là dạng đúng để nối với "in spite of."
Các đáp án khác không đúng vì:
A. of having a good salary là sự lặp lại không cần thiết của "of."
B. he had a good salary là một mệnh đề và không thể theo sau "in spite."
C. of a good salary thiếu động từ và không phù hợp trong ngữ cảnh này.
