A. Giving rein to their ancient antipathy, the revolted peasantry attacked the towns, which were liberal in ideas and republican in sympathies.
B. After taking a turn along the Podnovinski Boulevard, Balaga began to rein in, and turning back drew up at the crossing of the old Konyusheny Street.
C. You say you can't see a rein of goodness and truth on earth.
The correct answer is option 4.
The word 'rein' means 'to keep under control' or 'restrain'.
In sentence A, the word 'rein' means 'control'. The sentence suggests that 'giving control to their ancient antipathy...'.
Similarly, sentence B suggests that '...Balaga began to control, and turning back drew up at the crossing of the old Konyusheny Street'.
In sentence C, the word 'rein' does not fit in. The sentence does not convey any meaning.
Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer.
