Answer 2

1) an

a vowel sound is always followed by 'an'.

2) beautifully

adverb is a word that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb. here, 'beautifully is an adverb modifying the verb dance.

adjective is a word which defines the quality of a noun. beautiful is an adjective an thus cannot define the verb dance

3) is

we always use 'am' for selves, i.e., along with I; 'is' with singular third person; and are with plural third person.

4) requested

present tense verb is used for the facts and on going processes; past tense verb is used for something that is done before.

5) are

we always use  'is' with singular third person; 'am' for selves;and are with plural third person. (same reason as in 3rd)

6) could

we use might for predictions; can is used for telling our abilities, taking permission, could is the 'past tense' of can. here, the past ability of the person is defined, so we are using the modal could

7) reading

reading is a continuous tense, read is simple present tense. while writing about our hobbies, we use the continuous tenses.

8) might

we use might for predictions; will is for sure events; can is used for telling our abilities, taking permission.

9) much

many is used for countable nouns, while much is used for the uncountable nouns, and milk is clearly uncountable.

10) on

on is a preposition describing that something is in surface contact with the other, upon is just a formal version of on (it an also be used here), in used when something resides or is surrounded by the other.
