Нужно вставить подходящие слова из списка much / many / a lot of / is / isn't / are / aren't.

Правило простое:

• many — с исчисляемыми во множественном числе (bananas, apples, eggs, postcards)

• much — с неисчисляемыми (juice, cheese, coffee)

• are / aren't — когда речь про There + множественное число

• is / isn't — когда речь про There + единственное число / неисчисляемое

• a lot of подходит и для исчисляемых, и для неисчисляемых, обычно в утвердительных предложениях

Теперь по предложениям:

1. There are a lot of bananas in the fridge.
   (бананы — исчисляемые, множественное число, утвердительное: удобно “a lot of”)

2. There isn't much juice in the glass.
   (juice — неисчисляемое, отрицание → much)

3. Are there many apples in the vase?
   (apples — исчисляемые во множественном числе, вопрос → many)

4. There isn't much cheese on the plate.
   (cheese — неисчисляемое; по смыслу нужно отрицание, поэтому “isn't much”)

5. Are there many eggs on the table?
   (вопросительная форма: Are there…; eggs — many)

6. There aren't many postcards in my bag.
   (postcards — множественное число, отрицание → aren’t; many подходит к postcards)

7. Is there much coffee in the cup?
   (вопрос: Is there…; coffee — неисчисляемое → much)

1. a lot of

2. much

3. many
