1 grapes: "Grapes" is the right answer here. Grapes are the tasty little egg-shaped fruits that are used to make wine. They're very good for you!
2 begin: "Begin" is the correct answer. To "begin (to cry)" is to "start crying". Example: "Please begin writing when I shout 'now!". Note that this is an irregular verb: begin/began/begun.
3 agree: "Agree" is the best choice to complete this sentence. We say that we "agree with someone" when we share the same opinion as them. Example: "Lucy agrees with me that Tony Bear is very silly". Note that "to agree to something" is to accept it. Example: "Bruno agreed to the new contract after ten minutes of doubt".
