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.
