Correct Answer: not been listened


Solution : The right response is option 2 'not been listened to.'

Explanation:

  • - The fault is in the sentence's portion 'not been listened to.'
  • - The tense is Present Perfect Continuous.
  • - The present perfect continuous tense (also known as the present perfect progressive tense) indicates that something began in the past and is still ongoing in the present.
  • -  Structure: Subject + has/have + been + V1 + ing + object
  • - As an example, I've been reading War and Peace for the past month.
  • - As a result, "not having listened" should be changed with "not having listened" to make the statement grammatically correct.
  • - Correct sentence: You don't understand now because you have not been listening.
