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".
