Choose the most appropriate option to fill in the blank:

_ our flight from Delhi to Mumbai was delayed because of bad weather, we missed our connection to Dubai and had to spend six hours at the airport. _ being delayed, we still had a good trip.

After, Despite

If, Although

Although, Unless

After, Unless

✅ Correct Option: 1

The first blank links the delay (cause/prior event) to missing the connection, so 'After' works naturally. The second blank introduces a contrast: the trip was still good in spite of the delay, so 'Despite being delayed' is correct. 'Unless' and 'Although' cannot precede the gerund phrase 'being delayed', ruling out the other pairs.
