Choose one of the following to make the given sentence grammatically correct.
I love listening music.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → I love listening to music
The verb listen takes the preposition "to" before the thing heard: one listens to music, to a speech, to the radio. "I love listening music" leaves out "to".
Example: The students listened to the lecture carefully.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: I love listening for music — Incorrect. To listen for something is to wait and try to hear it ("listen for the doorbell"); it does not mean enjoying music.
Example: She listened for the sound of his car.
Option 2: I love listening if music — Incorrect. "If" is a conjunction that introduces a condition; it cannot join "listening" to its object.
Option 3: No error — Incorrect. The sentence does have an error: the preposition "to" is missing after "listening".
