Magoosh Official Explanation:
Split #1: idiom
One idiom is English is “to extend [someone] a civil welcome.” In other word, we are not overjoyed to see this person, but we still will be properly polite. This idiom gets butchered among the five answers.
Choice (A): “to extend to him a welcome that is civil” = awkward long and indirect
Choice (B): “to extend to him a civil welcome” = perfectly correct
Choice (C): “to civilly extend a welcome to him” = awkward and unnatural*
Choice (D): “to extend to him ... a civil welcome” = perfectly correct
Choice (E): “is civilly willing to welcome him” = unrecognizably wrong
Choices (C) & (E) have to be incorrect.
Split #2: parts of a whole
The “faculty” is a singular noun, and if we were referring to the whole faculty, we would need the singular pronoun. Everything about pronouns gets dicier when some of this whole are doing one thing and some are doing something else. Once we get to individual and differing actions, we are talking about multiple individuals. The most important thing is not to have a conflict of pronouns, simultaneously refers to “some of the faculty” as both “it” and “them.” All five answer choices have “on their own,” so we should avoid the “it.” Choices (C) & (D) & (E) use “it” and are incorrect.
Split #3: phrasing
Choice (A), by far the longest answer, is indirect, rambling, and tedious. The phrasing “that is civil on their own” is odd—it’s an odd place to put the modifier “on their own.” It almost sounds as if we are emphasizes different individual definitions of what counts as “civil.” This simply adds to the tremendous awkwardness of the whole distended mess. Choice (A) is incorrect.
As the result of these splits, the only possible answer is (B).

I attempted this question yesterday on magoosh. Got stuck between B and D.
Also their is not logical antecedent of their? Do such questions appear on GMAT?
