    Solution

    The word "further" is used incorrectly here.In this sentence, the adverb 'further' needs to be replaced by the verb 'furthering'."Further" is typically used to indicate progression or continuation, whereas "furthering" (the verb form) is needed in this context to show an action (promoting or advancing policies).Corrected Sentence:"He should look at the U.S. reset with Russia to begin afresh rather than as an impediment to furthering the old policies that have backfired."
