The correct answer is Option 2)
 
Key Points
  • In conditional sentences, the word "if" is followed by the simple present tense, not "will".
  • The correct phrase should be "if you ask her," ensuring grammatical correctness and clarity.
  • Thus, the error is located in part 2 of the sentence.
Correct Sentence: "The teacher will certainly help you if you ask her."
 
Additional Information
  • 1: "ask her," – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
  • 3: "The teacher will," – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
  • 4: "certainly help you," – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
  • No error – This would be the correct option if there were no mistakes in the sentence, but there is an error in part 2.
