Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follows: 'Their mother was lighting the kitchen stove. They greeted her with great hugs and demands for an immediate dinner. She was a good cook who could make even the simplest of dishes taste delicious. Her favourite saying was, "Home-made pai is better than chicken soup in Delhi," and Bina and Sonu had to agree. Electricity had yet to reach their village, and they took their meal by the light of a kerosene lamp. After the meal, Sonu settled down to do a little homework, while Bina stepped outside to look at the stars. Across the fields, someone was playing a flute. "It must be Prakash," thought Bina. "He always breaks off on the high notes." But the flute music was simple and appealing, and she began singing softly to herself in the dark.' Select the most appropriate meaning of the bracketed word 'appealing' in the context of the passage.
