رغم المطر، لم تكن المباراة ____

In this video, we solve one sentence completion question.

Question one. Complete the sentence: Despite the rain, the match was not blank. Option A, played. Option B, cancelled. Option C, watched. Option D, won.

Let us solve it. The word Despite signals a contrast between the rain and what happened to the match. Rain could cause cancellation, but the sentence says this did not happen.

Option A, played, would mean the match did not take place, which does not express the intended contrast. Option C, watched, concerns spectators rather than whether rain stopped the match. Option D, won, concerns the result rather than whether rain stopped play.

Hence, the correct answer is option B, cancelled.
