    Explanation
    The correct answer is "is beating" because it agrees with the subject "Mother's heart" which is singular. In this sentence, we are referring to the heartbeat of the mother, which is a singular action. Therefore, we use the singular form of the verb "beat" which is "is beating."

    A. Is listening
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "is listening" because the subject "Marry" is singular and the verb should agree with it. In this case, the present continuous tense is used to show an action happening at the moment of speaking, so "is listening" is the correct form.
