Which sentence sounds better?
What would it take you to cooperate with us again today?
or
What would it take for you to cooperate with us again today?
Or if anyone has a better sentence that would mean the same. It would be greatly appreciated.
I want the sentence to mean that the person is willing to offer the other something (such as a bribe) for a cooperation.
Word processor removes the FOR but to me it doesn't seem to have the same meaning.

A great deal, deeply, or greatly
Which one should be use in this situation:
We care deeply for each other, but we are not soul mates. (or we deeply care for each other, but...)
or,
We care a great deal for each other, but we are not soul mates.
or,
We greatly care for each other, but.... (or we care greatly for each other....)
So many choices :(
Thank you in advance.

Overwhelmed
I see that most of the time overwhelmed is used in conjunction with 'by', but would it be ok to say:
'The air was overwhelmed with perfumes.'
or do I have to stick with "The air was overwhelmed by perfumes.' ?Thank you all! I finally went with a different approach and rephrased my sentence. It fits better with the story anyway.
It seemed as if every man and woman added his or her own sweet artificial flagrance, and all the perfumes, which saturated the air, threatened to make me sneeze.

Which sounds better: Between us or Between them and me?
In this sentence:
I might be able to put enough distance between us, or it would be more appropriated to say I might be able to put enough distance between them and me...
Between us sounds better to me but it also sounds more intimate. (or is it just me? I am talking about distances as in miles/kilometers etc.
