Q1. Which of the following words in the passage means 'regardless'?
A restricted
B despite Correct
C mobilize
D contemporary
Explanation
"Despite" is the closest word to "regardless" because it means that something happens even though another fact exists; the sense is "in spite of". "Restricted" means limited or confined, which is almost the opposite of freedom from conditions. "Mobilize" means to organise people or resources for action, not to ignore a condition. "Contemporary" means belonging to the same time period or modern, so it is about time, not disregard or lack of concern.
