Correct Answer: Children listens to people
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The reason for the error is a subject-verb agreement issue. The verb listens does not agree with the plural subject children. The plural subject should be followed by a plural verb, i.e., listen, as per subject-verb agreement.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Children listen to people speaking around them for a long time before they begin to speak.
