Correct Answer: (2)
Solution :
The sentence can be improved using the second option .
Although "so" and "too" both mean "a lot", they differ in their usage. "So" is usually used for positive cases, whereas "too" is used for negative cases. Thus, "too much of a coward" is the correct choice, as being a coward is a negative trait.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He was too much of a coward to help his friend."
