Preview: Explanations
1."some"(c)
'Cafés' is countable and the sentence is affirmative, so we use 'some'. We use 'any' in questions and negatives, not affirmatives.
2."much"(a)
'Time' is uncountable, so we use 'much' (not 'many'). 'Much' is common in negative sentences. There isn't much time left.
3."any"(b)
In questions, we use 'any' to ask about existence. 'Eggs' is countable, so 'much' and 'a little' (uncountable) are wrong.
4."a lot of"(d)
'People' is plural and the context shows a large number ('the line is very long'), so 'a lot of' fits. 'Much' and 'a little' are for uncountable nouns.
5."many"(a)
'Chairs' is countable, so we ask 'How many'. 'How much' is for uncountable nouns. 'Some' and 'any' do not follow 'How'.
