Each question has a base word that is used in the options given below. Choose the option in which the usage of the word is inappropriate.
Help
Explanation:
‘Help’ used in sentence 1 means ‘relieve or ease’ and has been used correctly (help your cold = ease your cold). In option 2, help used with can or cannot means ‘to refrain from or avoid’ (cannot refrain from the colour of my skin). In sentence 3, it should be ‘help himself to’ and not ‘help himself with’. ‘To help oneself to’ is an idiom and means ‘to serve’ or ‘provide oneself with’. Help in the last sentence (4) means the usual meaning, ‘aid, assistance’ and the word has been correctly used.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
