My neighbours enjoy playing music really loudly.
"with verbs like gustar"

Nowhere in there does it list "divertir"
I'm unclear on why it wasn't divierten like it would have been "disfrutan"

Hola Lucio
The list of verbs that operate like gustar is a selection of verbs because there are a lot more. I looked into that specific question and the type of question is a dropdown menu with different options where the only possible correct answer is "A mis vecinos les..." - the others are all incorrect because the verb in singular (divierte) can only match with this structrure like gustar.
The verb disfrutar is different because it only works as a "normal" verb with a direct object (it doesn't work like gustar at all) - with disfrutar you'd say:
Mis vecinos disfrutan la música a todo volúmen.
My neighbours enjoy loud music.
I hope it clarifies it.
Saludos

I understand that the 'a' is how I could have known the correct answer - but that wouldn't have cleared up my confusion on 'les'
Your answer "The list of verbs that operate like gustar is a selection of verbs because there are a lot more." suggests divertir is a gustar-like verb.
Maybe my confusion is the difference between divertir and divertirse? Only divertir acts like gustar, and not divertirse?
