Correct Answer: so attentive


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

Explanation: The word "attentive" is an adjective, but in this context, it should be an adverb modifying the verb "listened". The correct form to modify the verb "listened" would be the adverb "attentively" instead of the adjective "attentive".

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Nobody has ever listened to me so attentively.
