answer explanation:
<p><strong>Answer:</strong> (A) In spite of</p>
<p>In this sentence, we are discussing the fact that Mr. Brown did not get the promotion he applied for, despite having several years of experience in management. The phrase "In spite of" is used to show contrast or opposition. It is used to introduce a clause that indicates a contrast or contradiction to what has been stated previously. In this case, the phrase "In spite of" is used to indicate that Mr. Brown's experience in management did not lead to him getting the promotion. The other options, "Unless," "Regardless," and "Even so," do not convey the same meaning of contrast or opposition that is required in this sentence.</p>
