    Biden struggle with civil rights matters (I)/ highlights exactly why the Obamas may (II)/ not see him as a natural fit to inherit its legacy. (III)

    Solutions

    Part I: The context of the part is struggle of Biden in matters related to civil rights. So, we need to use possessive form of the noun and thus must replace ‘Biden’ with “Biden’s”.
    Part III: The singular possessive pronoun in neuter gender ‘its’ has been incorrectly used. The noun being referred to in the part is ‘the Obamas’, for which we need to use the plural possessive pronoun ‘their’.
    Part II is grammatically correct and the correct option is C.

    He urged on his already weary horse (1)/ to get quickly past the (2)/ crowd, but the further he went, (3)/ the more disorganized it was. (4)
    Solutions
    The error is in the third part of the sentence because of the usage of ‘farther’.
    ‘Farther’ refers to ‘a greater physical distance, a distance that has been measured’ while ‘further’ describes something that is beyond or additional. “Further” can also refer to something that is greater in degree or amount.
    Further can be used, for example, in this case, 'As I grew older, I wanted to move further away from the city.'
    Farther can be used, for example, in this case, 'He was so tired that he could not travel any farther into the city.'
    In the given sentence, the context of distance is being used. Therefore, ‘further’ must be replaced with ‘farther’ to form a contextually correct sentence.

    True nobility (1)/ is in being (2)/ superior than your (3)/ previous self. (4)
    Solutions

    The error is in the third part of the sentence.

    We use the preposition ‘to’ after adjectives like superior, inferior, preferable etc. and not the conjunction ‘than’.

    Therefore, ‘than’ must be replaced with ‘to’ to form a grammatically correct sentence.

    Hence, option C is the correct answer.
