Nixon inherited a number of challenges, including a war, and needed to find a way to unite a divided nation.

The correct answer is:  

Nixon inherited a number of challenges, including a war, and needed to find a way to unite a divided nation.

1968 was the most tumultuous year of the decade: the assassinations of Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., combined with disaffection towards the Vietnam War, the disturbances at the Democratic National Convention, and a series of city riots. During his presidenctial campaign, Nixon portrayed himself as a figure of stability during a period of national unrest and upheaval. When he took office in January 1969, inflation was at 4.7%, its highest rate since the Korean War, and rising. His major economic goal was to reduce inflation and the most obvious means of doing so was to end the war.
