Fill in the blank using an appropriate word: I have ________ pairs of shoes.

Answer: D. many

The word "many" is used with countable nouns in plural form. Since pairs of shoes can be counted, many is the appropriate determiner. The other options such as much and very much are used with uncountable nouns, while any is generally used in negative or interrogative sentences.
