Gerund or Infinitive?

   My boss Tonny has ___________________________________ (promise, propose, accept) my
   suggestion, which has made me very happy because I cannot _________________________ (afford,
   spend) too much time on it. Both of us ____________________________ (would like, finish, work)
   on this project. I ____________________________ (dislike, be exposed) to big pressure, but on
   the other hand, every new challenge _____________________________ (help, develop) my rational
   thinking. I have even ___________________________ (stop, play) football to get more time. A
   friend of mine suggested that I should even leave school because of this project but I have
   ______________________________ (refuse, stop, study). I don’t
   ____________________________________ (want, pretend, have) an ideal life but I am
   _______________________________________ (enjoy, live) it. Moreover, at this point I can’t
   ____________________________________ (afford, give up, use) such a great opportunity. I have
   ______________________________________ (promise, not avoid, take) responsibility for what I
   do.

   

   Bonus: (translate; the underlined words should be translated as verbs, not as nouns):
