Answer 1

The student's exercise involves writing sentences with opposite meanings using different quantifiers such as 'much,' 'many,' and 'any.' The response provides a list of rephrased sentences using the opposite quantifiers to change the meaning of the original ones.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the first part of the student's request, we need to form sentences with the opposite meaning using the suggested quantifiers. Here are the sentences with their opposites:

• I don't eat much pasta.
• I don't eat much meat.
• There aren't any good restaurants near my house.
• I drink very little coke.
• My mother doesn't bake many cakes.
• I didn't have any cereal for breakfast.
• I used to eat very few vegetables.
• I do not do much cooking at home.

Following the instructions given in the yellow boxes, students can use quantifiers such as 'some,' 'any,' 'many,' and others to construct the opposite in meaning sentences while ensuring they match with the countable or uncountable nature of the noun they modify.
