Correct Answer: with dint of


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The correct idiomatic expression is by dint of rather than with dint of . By dint of is an idiomatic phrase that conveys the idea of achieving something through hard work, effort, or determination.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Fortunately, he passed the exams by dint of sheer hard work and diligence.
