A note on beaucoup:

Il aime beaucoup d'objets anciens = He likes lots of old objects
Il aime beaucoup les objets anciens = He likes old objects a lot

Beaucoup is automatically followed by de (even with a plural noun) only if it means "lots of". In this case, that's not what the text means - here, the beaucoup means "a lot" and qualifies the verb aimer and not the noun, objets.

The previous poster, the bear, is quite right with his corrections. But the last two questions are similar and combine with my above comment:
Elle aime aussi beaucoup le sport et le cinéma japonais - because you're talking about whole categories; and again, the beaucoup qualifies the verb aime and not the nouns.

Hope this helps.

Oh thank you so much !!

so should I write "l' " in the sentence "Il aime beaucoup ____ objets anciens" . in the exercise?
thanks again!!!!!
I have a final exam tomorrow so i look forward to seeing your reply soon!

It is always beaucoup de even if the following noun is plural.

If you think about it, you can't write "l'objets anciens" because objets is plural and "l' " can only be singular, for le or la: you have to say les objets anciens.

Good luck with your exam!

Not always, just most of the time.
