.......... progress, many urban governments lack the capacity to address disaster risk reduction and management.
پاسخ صحیح: گزینهٔ B — Despite
پاسخ تشریحی
Answer: option 2 — Despite is a preposition of concession (حرف اضافهٔ بیان تقابل) and can directly precede the noun progress: Despite progress, .... The point is that inadequate capacity persists even though progress has been made.
- (1) While: as a concessive conjunction normally needs a clause, such as while progress has been made. Bare progress is not such a clause.
- (3) However: is a linking adverb, not a preposition taking progress as its complement. However much progress ... would require a different structure.
- (4) Although: needs a clause here, such as although there has been progress.
Exam trick: Despite + noun/-ing; although/while + subject + verb.
