Here is the breakdown and the correct choices for each sentence based on English grammar rules regarding countable and uncountable nouns.

• Do we need much/many bread?
  • Choice: much
  • Reason: Bread is an uncountable noun in English. We use much with uncountable nouns, especially in questions and negative sentences.
• I take many/a lot of sugar in my tea.
  • Choice: a lot of
  • Reason: Sugar is an uncountable noun. While much can technically be used with uncountable nouns, it is rarely used in positive (affirmative) sentences in natural speech. A lot of is the more natural choice for positive statements.
• There aren't much/many eggs in the fridge.
  • Choice: many
  • Reason: Eggs is a plural countable noun. We use many with plural countable nouns in negative sentences.
• There’s much/a lot of sugar in the cake.
  • Choice: a lot of
  • Reason: Similar to the tea example, this is a positive sentence. Native speakers prefer a lot of in affirmative statements over much.
• Have you got much/many mangoes?
  • Choice: many
  • Reason: Mangoes is the plural form of a countable noun. We use many for plural objects in questions.
