The correct answer is (d) hyphen (-) (no article is required).
Correct Sentence: I like listening to music.
Explanation:
Grammatical Rule Used:
- "Music"is an uncountable noun, and uncountable nouns generally do not take an article unless specified or made particular (e.g., "the music of Beethoven"). In this general context, no article is needed before "music."
- Articles"a"and"an"are used with singular, countable nouns, but "music" is uncountable.
- "The"is used with specific or particular nouns, but here the sentence refers to music in general.
- Rule in Hindi:"Music" जैसी अनगिनत संज्ञाओं के साथ सामान्य संदर्भ में कोई लेख (article) उपयोग नहीं होता।
Why other options are incorrect:
- A: Incorrect because "a" is used before singular, countable nouns beginning with a consonant sound.
- Example: A book is on the table.
- An: Incorrect because "an" is used before singular, countable nouns beginning with a vowel sound.
- Example: An apple fell from the tree.
- The: Incorrect because "the" specifies something particular, but here music is referred to in general.
- Example: I like the music you played yesterday.
