EnglishPrepositions and Determiners
- Athough
- Bbecause of
- Calthough
- Din spite of
Explanation
The sentence gives the reason for walking slowly: the bandaged leg. Among the options, 'because of' (B) correctly introduces the reason, followed by the noun phrase 'his bandaged leg'. 'Though' (a) and 'although' (c) are conjunctions requiring clauses, not noun phrases. 'In spite of' (d) shows contrast, but the sentence indicates cause, not contrast. The person walked slowly due to the injury. Therefore option B is correct. Cross-checked with Oswaal CDS Yearwise Solved Papers.
