18. I usually ____ punk rock music, but these days I am liking it!

Question

In this sentence, we want a verb that fits with the subject I and the adverb usually, to express a habitual preference.
Option 1: 'do like' – This would mean the present simple affirmative, but with 'usually' we typically use the negative form for habitual preferences when that's the intended meaning, so 'do like' sounds incorrect in this context.
Option 2: 'doesn't like' – The subject is 'I', which requires 'do/does' in the present simple. 'Doesn't like' uses 'does', which is only correct with third-person singular subjects (he/she/it), not 'I'. Therefore this option is grammatically wrong here.
Option 3: 'am liking' – The present continuous 'am liking' is not standard for expressing a general habit or preference. 'Like' is a stative verb in this sense, and we typically do not use the present continuous with it.
Option 4: 'liking' – This is just the present participle form without a helping verb, which cannot complete the sentence grammatically.
Option 5: 'don't like' – This correctly uses the present simple negative form with the first-person singular subject 'I', matching the adverb 'usually' to express a habitual behavior, and the second clause 'but these days I am liking it!' contrasts the usual feeling with a current shift that is expressed with the present progressive in the second clause. This option yields the coherent pair: 'I usually don't like punk rock music, but these days I am liking it!'
Thus, the most grammatically and semantically appropriate choice is the final option: 'don't like'.
