Вот как заполняются пропуски и почему:

1. few — He isn’t very popular. He has few friends.
   Friends — исчисляемое во множественном числе; «few» подчёркивает, что их мало (не хватает).

2. little — Ann is very busy these days. She has little free time.
   Free time — неисчисляемое; «little» = «мало» (недостаточно).

3. many — Did you take many photographs when you were on holiday?
   Photographs — исчисляемое; в вопросах про количество используем «many».

4. much — I’m not very busy today. I haven’t got much to do.
   «To do» подразумевает work/thing to do как неисчисляемое; «much» подходит.

5. many — The museum was very crowded. There were too many people.
   People — по смыслу исчисляемое множество; с «too» используем «many» для «слишком много».

6. few — Most of the town is modern. There are few old buildings.
   Buildings — исчисляемое; «few» = «мало» (их недостаточно).

7. little — The weather has been very dry recently. We’ve had little rain.
   Rain — неисчисляемое; «little» = «мало» (почти не было дождя).

Итого: few, little, many, much, many, few, little.
