Answer

The word “despite” means even though, in spite of and the word “commendable” means praiseworthy. The guide was unable to communicate through language but was still able to direct the author in the right direction. The guide would have accomplished this by showing or “indicating” which way the author needed to go. To provide further help, “edifying” means teaching or building up; “loosening” means making loose; “lauding” means praising.
