This are the instructions guys

complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word given.
Do not change the word given. You must use between two and five words, including the word given.

1. My friend asked me where I bought my coat.
2. We arrived on time, in spite of the traffic. (I think despite would be better than spite, but whatever)
3. You ought to have been here half an hour ago! EDIT: wrong tense, thanks pedeadstrian!
4. I was very tired because I am not used to walking that far.

Best of luck in your studies!

2. We arrived on time, in spite of the traffic. (I think despite would be better than spite, but whatever)

"in spite of the traffic" or "despite the traffic" would work equally well. You can't really tell the teacher "Hey, these words you want us to define suck." Gotta work with what you're given.

3. You ought to be here half an hour ago!

"You ought to have been here half an hour ago" sounds better (at least to me).

I know, I know. Just my own two cents.

"You ought to have been here half an hour ago" sounds better (at least to me).

I don't know what I was thinking, haha.
