Hi All,
I encountered a grammar question. It reads as follows:
-----
Dipping bread into wine may be hard to imagine now but was a pretty common practice in the Middle Ages _____ the poor quality of wine. Putting toast into a jar of wine was believed to rid the wine of the unpleasant acidity and thereby improve the taste.
(A) except
(B) despite
(C) besides
(D) regarding
-----
Which option would you choose? Thanks.
