"Your answer was: incorrect
I hear to the concert every Monday on the radio and I imagine I am there listening to it in person."

I'm confused,
As far as I know, we say 'Hear' for sounds that come to our ears, maybe by chance, without trying to hear them. For example, 'I heard a strange noise come from the kitchen.'

'Listen' is used to describe intentionally paying attention to sounds. For example, 'Last night, I listened to the radio.'
I Feel you can hear something without trying to, but you can only listen to something on purpose.

hear means your ears are getting that point but your mind is not paying attention to is
whereas listening means your hear along with your mind are paying attention to that thing with concentration...........

It could be argues that it was possible that you could hear a concert
BUT
You could not hear to a concert.

The test sentence includes the word 'to'.

Yes, I totally agree with you. We cannot hear to a concert, however we can listen to a concert .
