Select the option that best explains the information conveyed in the sentence. The stadium had a capacity crowd in spite of the weather.

  1. The weather favoured the crowd at the stadium
  2. The crowd defied the weather to fill the stadium ✓
  3. The stadium was not filled because of the weather
  4. The crowd loved the weather at the stadium
Explanation

A capacity crowd means the stadium was full. “In spite of the weather” means the weather was bad but did not stop people coming.

So the crowd defied the weather to fill the stadium. Saying the stadium was not full, or that the weather helped, would contradict “in spite of”.
