Task 2 requires choosing the correct words to fill in the blanks in the given sentences. Let's analyze each sentence and choose the appropriate option:

1. Would you like a little/ a few milk with your tea?
In this sentence, we need to choose between "a little" and "a few" to describe the amount of milk. The correct option is "a little" because "little" is used with uncountable nouns, such as "milk." So the sentence should be: "Would you like a little milk with your tea?"

2. There were a lot of/ much people in the stadium.
We need to choose between "a lot of" and "much" to talk about the number of people in the stadium. The correct option is "a lot of" because "a lot of" is used with countable nouns, like "people." So the sentence should be: "There were a lot of people in the stadium."

3. For this recipe we need some/ any onions.
We have to choose between "some" and "any" to indicate the quantity of onions needed for the recipe. The correct option is "some" because "some" is generally used in positive statements when the speaker expects the answer to be affirmative. So the sentence should be: "For this recipe we need some onions."

4. How much/ many sugar do you want?
Here, we have to choose between "how much" and "how many" to ask about the quantity of sugar wanted. The correct option is "how much" because "much" is used with uncountable nouns like "sugar." So the sentence should be: "How much sugar do you want?"

5. There is many/ a lot of butter in the cake.
We need to choose between "many" and "a lot of" to describe the amount of butter in the cake. The correct option is "a lot of" because "a lot of" is used with uncountable nouns, like "butter." So the sentence should be: "There is a lot of butter in the cake."

In summary, the correct answers for Task 2 are:
1. Would you like a little milk with your tea?
2. There were a lot of people in the stadium.
3. For this recipe we need some onions.
4. How much sugar do you want?
5. There is a lot of butter in the cake.
