单选题 ______ opposing views, our boss declared that the company would enter the furniture market.

A、 Despite of
B、 Although
C、 Though
D、 In spite of

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[解析] 句意：尽管有反对的意见，我们老板仍然宣布公司将进入家具市场。词义辨析。although，though意为“尽管，虽然”，常引导让步状语从句，此处opposing views是名词词组，故排除B、C选项。in spite of(尽管)相当于despite，故选in spite of。
