The error lies in the first part of the sentence. 'With’ is the wrong preposition to be used here. The right one is 'from’. 'Take cue from’ is an idiom which means ‘follow the lead of another, as in I'm not sure what to bring, so I'll take a cue from you.’$

Correct sentence: Taking a cue from him, she asked the guests if they were hungry.$

Hence the correct answer is option 1.
