Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is "D: In spite of." This phrase is the most appropriate because it is used to show contrast or contradiction between two ideas, indicating that the person went to the party despite her dislike for the host. "Despite of" (A) is grammatically incorrect; "Even though" (B) is similar in meaning but not as strong as "In spite of"; "Although" (C) is used to introduce a contrast but does not convey the same level of contradiction as "In spite of."

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. "Went from" contains a typographical error. The correct phrase should be "went to" instead of "went from." The preposition "to" is used to indicate the destination or endpoint of an action, while "from" indicates the origin or starting point. Therefore, in this context, "went to" is the appropriate choice. A: "To a" is grammatically correct and does not contain a typographical error. B: "Very strong" is also grammatically correct and does not contain a typographical error. C: "Being" is a valid word and does not contain a typographical error.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: unnecessary. The word 'unnecessary' is misspelled as 'unneccessary' in the sentence. The correct spelling should have only one 'c' instead of two. The other choices are spelled correctly - A: physician, C: explain, and D: procedure. 'Physician' refers to a medical doctor, 'explain' means to make something clear, and 'procedure' is a series of steps to be followed. Thus, the misspelling in choice B makes it the correct answer.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Complication. A complication is an undesired problem that arises as a result of another event. It is something that adds difficulty or complexity to a situation. In contrast, B: Complement means something that completes or goes well with something else. C: Procedures refer to a series of steps or actions to achieve a specific goal, not necessarily an undesired problem. D: Implemented means put into effect, which is not directly related to an undesired problem resulting from another event.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Drove. In this sentence, the action of driving more than 400 miles to reach their destination is in the past tense. "Drove" is the simple past tense form of the verb "drive," which correctly indicates a completed action in the past. A: "Driving" is the present participle form, which does not match the past tense context of the sentence. B: "Having driven" is the present perfect tense, which does not match the simple past tense required in the sentence. D: "Had drove" is grammatically incorrect as it uses "had" with the past participle "drove," which is not a correct verb form.
