She looks very much pretty.
a. She looks very pretty.
b. She looks very much pretty.
I know that sentence a is correct. How about sentence b? Is it also correct? Thanks!

For sentence two:
"She is, very much, a pretty girl.

Hi.
As 'pretty' is an adjective, we can only make it stronger with 'very' or an adverb such as 'extremely', 'absolutely'.
We use 'much' with an uncountable noun, and usually in the negative. "She doesn't have much education."
However, we can use 'very much' to show that we agree with a comment featuring an adjective. Example "She's pretty!" - "Oh, yes! Very much!" or "That exam was so difficult!" - "Very much, yes."
