Explanation:

- Option 1: "sheer hard work and diligence" - This part is grammatically correct. It describes the means through which the exams were passed.

- Option 2: "with dint of" - This is the incorrect part. The correct phrase is "by dint of," meaning "through the means of." The error is in using "with" instead of "by."

- Option 3: No error - This option would be correct if there were no grammatical mistakes in the sentence. However, there is an error in Option 2.

- Option 4: "Fortunately, he passed the exams" - This part is grammatically correct. It sets the context for the sentence by providing information about the outcome.

The correct option is: Option 2: "with dint of"
