The Backbone.JS event listenTo() method is used to inform one object to listen to another object’s event. When an event occurs, it provides a callback function. It also keep a track for the events. The attribute of the events in Backbone.JS to get mixed to any object is an advantage.

Explanation:
The Event listenTo() method will inform one object to listen to another object’s event. When an event occurs, it provides a callback function. Here, the object Y listens for the ‘func’ event triggered on the object X. The X has no ‘func’ event and thus displays the value of Y.
