I have a final in Spanish and I am going back over my old tests and correcting my mistakes. I can't seem to figure out how to do this one and am not sure if I am getting the right answer.

This is one of the sentences I was given:

> Instructions: Escribe la forma conjugada de los verbos.

> 1\. Me _______________(aburrir) escuchar las conversaciones de la política.

I answered "aburren" because the direct object is plural, but was marked wrong.

Can someone explain why my answer is wrong so I can correct myself?
