filling in the blanks

My teacher is asking me to fill in the blanks of a document and I say:

Can I leave the address box empty? Or

Can I leave the address box blank?

Does it have to be blank or can I use empty when filling out a form.

Thanks!

I didn't sign up to be the leader, because it's too much/many responsibility. Or

I didn't sign up to be the leader, because it's too much/many responsibilities.

Are all useable? Should it be much or many?

Thanks!

Either is fine. For what it's worth my preference is "blank."

Hi! Are you sure either is fine? Because I used empty and I felt kind of weird using empty since it's a piece of paper and not an actual box.

If there is no box that says "Address:", then say either of these:
Can I leave out the address?
Do I have to write in the address?

I didn't sign up to be the leader, because being a leader is too much responsibility.
I didn't sign up to be the leader, because a leader has too many responsibilities.

When you use "it is", you are referring to "being the leader," so use

There is an address box, so can I still use empty?

Thanks again!

Yes you can. The more common adjective is "blank."
