Choose the correct phrase to complete the sentence: He quarreled with his boss ___ of the consequences.

A
Helpless
B
Headless
C
Both
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

The phrase that correctly completes the sentence is 'in spite of the consequences.' This phrase means that he quarreled with his boss despite knowing or disregarding the consequences. The options 'helpless' and 'headless' do not fit idiomatically or grammatically in this context. 'Both' is not appropriate, and 'None of these' is correct because none of the given words fit properly. Therefore, the correct answer is 'D' (None of these), with the phrase 'in spite of the consequences' being the proper completion.
