    Solution

    Despite is a conjunction which is used to express a contradiction between two clauses. ‘Despite’ does not make any sense within the sentence. It should be replaced with a noun that can be ‘respite’. ‘Respite’ means ‘a leisure’ or a time when you take a rest from a stressful activity.
