Question : Directions: In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (1), (2), and (3) that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is (4).
If he wants farther help, send him to me.
(1) further
(2) much
(3) best
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct answer is the first option .
Farther should be replaced with further to convey the intended meaning that if he requires additional help, he should be directed to the speaker.
Farther is used to signify physical distance, whereas further is used to refer to something additional to what already exists. Hence, further would be a more appropriate choice for this sentence. The other options, much and best do not go contextually with the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "If he wants further help, send him to me".
