The most logical answer is in the third option’s answer. It is because the word before the enclosed bracket is ‘ie e’ which can be translated as ‘to house’. Since, particle e(へ) is a movement particle which is used to describe movement of someone to a certain place or location, we have to carefully choose the correct verb describing movement. Since all of the option’s answers are verb concerning movement, we have to choose the correct one based on the construction of the sentence.
The above option’s answers has it’s own grammar pattern but the most logical one is in the third option’s answer. The grammar pattern is –te kara (－て から) which can be stranslated as ‘after doing specified in the verb’. To be able to choose the most logical answer which is done before listening to the subject’s favourite song is the main point of answering the question which is in the third option, after coming back home.
