‘The team ______ more than 300 runs in 20 overs ___________ rains. However, some players needed to improve their batting skills.’ Choose the option with the correct sequence of words to fill the blanks.
The past-tense clause requires the finite verb scored. Despite is followed directly by the noun rains and conveys that the rain did not prevent the result. Scoring would leave the clause without a finite verb. Therefore **scored; despite, C**.
