Contrasting Clues

Students match sentence beginnings with their correct endings, then fill in each blank with despite or in spite of to show a clear contrast between two ideas. Each pair provides contextual clues such as bad weather, fear, injury, or difficulty-helping learners recognize when a contrast word is needed. This worksheet strengthens understanding of complex sentence construction, cause-and-contrast logic, and cohesive writing skills.
