Preview: Explanations
1."How much"(a)
We use 'How much' to ask about price. We're asking about the amount of money, which is uncountable.
2."a lot of"(d)
In affirmative sentences, 'a lot of' is the most natural choice. 'Talks' is countable. 'Many' is possible but more formal.
3."much"(c)
In negative sentences, 'much' is natural before uncountable nouns. 'Patience' is uncountable.
4."much"(a)
Use 'much' before comparative adjectives. 'Much better' emphasises improvement. 'Very better' is incorrect.
5."many"(d)
In negative sentences, 'many' is natural before countable plural nouns. 'Options' is countable.
