Correct Answer: listens to


Solution : The error lies in the first option.

Explanation: The verb form "listens" is in the present tense, but the sentence structure with "Sh!" indicates a momentary action happening right now. To convey this, the present continuous tense "is listening" is more appropriate, indicating an ongoing action in the present moment.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Sh! Someone is listening to our conversation.
