[Answer]
山田さんは ギターを（1 習い）はじめたらしい。
It seems that Yamada-san has started learning to play the guitar.
(Verb)+はじめる is a support verb (補助動詞：ほじょどうし).
It means “to start doing something” or “to begin a habit.”
To use 〜はじめる correctly, connect it to the masu-form stem of a verb.
The masu-form of 習います (to learn) is 習い.
習い(ます)
→ 習い + はじめる
Therefore, the correct answer is 習い.
Other Choices:
習う (dictionary form)
習った (ta-form)
習って (te-form)
These forms cannot be used with the support verb 〜はじめる.
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
