Editing needed.

What does Tom do to make Mary angry? [?]

I think it was intended to be like that.

One of those confusing sentences similar to this one:

Linking only because there's already a discussion there.

@AlanF_US

Are you suggesting that this one needs to be deleted as well?

Yes, or changed to "Does what Tom does make Mary angry?"

I'll delete it.

I assume that you think that the following also sound wrong to you.

Does what Tom eat cost a lot?
Does what Tom write earn him a lot of money?
etc.

eat
-->
eats

write
-->
writes

At first glance, they sound fine, but thinking about it, it does seem off.
But what do I know :p

> I assume that you think that the following also sound wrong to you.

Yes.

The replacements suggested by DJ_Saidez would work, though there are other possibilities.
