Fill in the blanks below with the correct verb: to make or to do.
Remember to conjugate the verbs appropriately!
Hannah: I really think you two should make 1 an agreement before the wedding.
Wendy: I'll do 2 my best, but I don't think he'll accept.
Hannah: I'm worried that he wants to marry you just to make 3 a few bucks!

1 make: This is correct. In English, one 'makes' an agreement. 'Should' (a modal auxiliary) is always followed by a verb in the infinitive form (without 'to') in constructions such as these. For example: You should GO to the meeting, we should FIND a new apartment.
2 do: This is correct. To 'do one's best' is to 'make an effort', or to try to accomplish something to the best of one's ability. Wendy uses the simple future tense in this construction, formed with the future auxiliary 'will' + the infinitive form of the main verb. Example: I will BUY a house, We will START a family.
3 to make: This is correct. 'To make a few bucks' is an informal expression meaning 'to make money'. For example, 'robbing banks is a good way to make a few bucks'. This expression is formed with the verb 'to make'. Note that 'bucks' is a slang term for 'dollars', and the entire expression is synonymous with 'to make money'.
4 to do: This is correct. 'To do one's hair/to do one's make up', is to style one's hair/to apply cosmetics. Wendy is speaking about an event in the future, using the construction 'be going to + infinitive'.

In terms of hair, Brian Jones has at the Delavigne Corp. That's just on his head however, as Brian shaves of his body hair every day. As far as body hair is concerned, Willy the security guard is becoming and more of a player each day. His main competition comes from Bob Carter, whose long pony tail and moustache command respect around the office. Of course, in terms of total hair (body, head and tail), Bruno's dog Stink is still hairy employee of the company.
In terms of hair, Brian Jones has the most 1 at the Delavigne Corp. That's just on his head however, as Brian shaves much 2 of his body hair every day.

1 the most: To describe the 'greatest amount of hair' we can use the term 'the most', which refers to 'hair per square inch'.
1 most: 'Most' is the appropriate term here, however the article 'the' is required in this construction to create a grammatically correct sentence. 'Brian Jones has most at the Delavigne Corporation' is grammatically incorrect. 'The most' is often used to replace a noun introduced previously.
1 many: 'Many' is used to describe an amount or quantities. We would not use it to describe 'hair', firstly because 'hair' is considered a singular noun (as opposed to 'hairs', which describes individual hairs), and secondly because using it here would make this sentence grammatically incorrect!
1 much: 'Much' cannot be used in this construction. 'Brian has much at the Delavigne Corp' is grammatically incorrect.
2 much: 'Much' is the best choice here to describe that Brian shaves 'most' or 'a significant amount' of his body hair. Note that 'hair' is considered a singular, uncountable noun (it takes verbs in the singular form), and so 'much' is the best adjective to use here.
2 many: 'Many' is used to describe countable nouns (many photos, many cakes), and cannot be used to describe 'hair', which is considered a singular, uncountable noun (it takes verbs in the singular form). 'Hairs' on the other hand, used to describe individual 'strands' or pieces of hair, takes plural verbs and can be described with 'many'.
2 the most: 'The most' is either used as an adjective, followed directly by a noun (She has the most crazy stories) or as a noun to replace a term introduced previously: (He has a lot of toys, but I have the most). Neither option is appropriate in this construction, as using 'the most' makes this sentence grammatically incorrect.
3 more: 'More' is the best choice here. 'More and more' is an idiom which expresses progression, or an increase. If Willy the security guard is becoming 'more and more of a player', then he is becoming more hairy as time passes!
3 most: We cannot use 'most' in this construction. 'Most and more' does not make sense. The correct expression is 'more and more'.
3 the most: 'The most and more' is grammatically incorrect and doesn't make sense in this construction.
3 many: We cannot use 'many' in this construction. 'Most and more' does not make sense. The correct expression is 'more and more'.
4 much: 'To command (much) respect' is to inspire respect or admiration. Because the term 'respect' is uncountable, we use the term 'much' to describe it.
4 many: 'Many' is only used to describe countable nouns (many birds, many pictures). The term 'respect' cannot be preceded by 'many'.
4 most: 'To command most respect' is grammatically incorrect. To express that Bob commands 'the greatest amount of respect' at the company, we might say that he commands 'the most' respect.
5 the most: 'The most hairy' is one of the superlative forms of the adjective 'hairy' (meaning possessing a lot of hair). 'Hairiest' is the other form. Preceding an adjective or adverb with 'the most' creates the superlative form: the most appetizing, the most inconvenient.
5 most: We must precede 'most' with the article 'the' in order to correctly create the superlative form of the adjective 'hairy'. Using 'most' without the article is grammatically incorrect.
5 the much: The terms 'much' and 'many' are rarely preceded by the definite article 'the', and rarely themselves precede adjectives such as 'hairy'! 'Much' and 'many' generally precede nouns to describe their quantity or amount.
5 the many: The terms 'much' and 'many' are rarely preceded by the definite article 'the', and rarely themselves precede adjectives such as 'hairy'! 'Much' and 'many' generally precede nouns to describe their quantity or amount.

1 dark: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "long dark hair". A "dark" colour is one which is closer to black than white. "Dark" hair is usually black or brown. Blonde or white hair is "light" hair.
2 hair: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "long dark hair". "Hair" is what most people have on their head and body. Monkeys and other mammals also have a lot of hair.
3 tell: This is the correct term. Brian sings "I want to tell you all my secrets". To "tell (someone something)" is to inform them of something. Note that the verb "to tell" is not followed by the preposition "to".
4 share: This is the correct term. Brian sings about some secrets "I just can't share". In this context, the verb "to share" means "to relate" or "to communicate", for example: I'd like to share this idea with you.
5 earth: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "an angel who came to earth". The "earth" is synonymous with the world or the planet (we live on). An "angel who came to earth" is one who has come from heaven to the world.
6 heaven: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "heaven". "Heaven" is a place of happiness, peace and bliss. In Christianity, "Heaven" is the home of God and the angels.
7 beak: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "an eagle's beak". A "beak" is the mouth-like part of a bird's face. The beak is used for eating, killing prey, feeding young, etc. The "beak" can also be used to refer to a human nose, especially when the nose is long or shaped like a beak.
8 although: This is the correct term. "Although" shares the same meaning as "even though", "regardless of (the fact that)" or "in spite of (the fact that)", and is usually found at the beginning of clauses. "Although" is used to make a link between two things, and often introduces a contrasting idea or expresses a possible doubt. Example: Although he looked sad, he still smiled and played with the children.
