Thank you for suggestions from alex_cute and bohochic:) !! Alex-cute: I agree with you. I should pay attention to the parellel structure! bohochic: I am not sure...... For example, the use of sight = the use of "the ability of seeing something". The use of 'sound' doesn't mean the ability of hearing something. 'Sound' is the thing that you can hear!

Thank you Engsamah and Michael :D !!! Well, the source and answer key of the past paper may not 100% reliable.

An article is needed before a singular noun. associated by --> associated with 'Use' can be a noun. However, 'hear' is a verb. I would change it to 'hearing'. Hope my answers can help you:p !!
