1 much: In English, the question 'how much is (that hat)?' refers to the cost of the hat or how much 'money' it is. A more complete way to ask this question is 'how much money does the hat cost?' 'Money' is implied or understood as the subject of the phrase. Because 'money' is an uncountable noun, 'much' is used rather than 'many'.
2 many: 'Dogs' is a countable noun, so we use 'many' to describe it.
3 much: We use 'much' to describe uncountable nouns. The word 'sense' is an uncountable noun. The idiom 'to make sense' means to be 'reasonable' or 'logical'.
4 many: The noun 'people' is countable, therefore we use 'many' to describe it.
Esercizio 2

Icarus: Mr. Delavigne, I am amazed by how money we spend on paperclips every month.
Bruno: How times have I told you, Icarus? We need paperclips.
Icarus: Maybe if people wrote shorter letters we wouldn't need so of them.
Bruno: Icarus, don't be ridiculous.
Icarus: We wouldn't use so paper either.
Bruno: Go away Icarus. You're giving me a headache.

* A 'paperclip' is a piece of bent wire or plastic used for holding sheets of paper together.

1 much: We use 'much' to describe uncountable nouns like 'money'. We often talk about 'how much something costs'. In this expression, 'money' is implied or understood as the subject of the phrase. Because 'money' is an uncountable noun, 'much' is used rather than 'many'.
2 many: The noun 'times' is countable, therefore we use 'many' to describe it.
3 many: We use 'many' to describe countable nouns. 'Many' is used as a pronoun here which replaces the term 'paperclips', a countable noun which was introduced in Icarus' first sentence.
4 much: We use 'much' to describe uncountable nouns like 'paper'. Note that had we written 'a piece of paper', the subject becomes countable.
