Correct Answer: was delightful to hear


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

When dealing with the infinitive form, it's crucial to recognise that "to hear" is the correct infinitive construction in this context. Infinitives are formed by using "to", followed by the base form of the verb. Thus, the correct option maintains the infinitive structure, which is "was delightful to hear".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: It was delightful to hear the baby’s voice.
