Error spotting (collocation: listen to + object; pronoun agreement): Identify the erroneous segment (A/B/C) — choose D if correct — 'If you listen with / the question carefully / you will be able to answer them easily / No error.'

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: If you listen with

Explanation:


Concept/Approach: Correct preposition with 'listen'
We 'listen to' something/someone. Therefore, 'listen with the question' is incorrect; it should be 'listen to the question carefully'.


Correction
(A) 'listen with' → 'listen to'.Polished sentence: 'If you listen to the question carefully, you will be able to answer it easily.' (Also adjust 'them' → 'it' to match singular 'question'.)

Mismatching prepositions after fixed verbs; pronoun–antecedent disagreement.


Final Answer
(A) is erroneous → use 'listen to the question …'
