I repeatedly remove and insert the article το during this exercise and always seem to keep making errors. Is there a rule i am missing here

"Το" goes before neuter nouns in the singular form.
"το νερό" water (neuter)
but "η ζάχαρη" sugar (female)

I know this. My problem is that the answers on this are not always the same. The keep randomly needing the article in the object position and I keep losing lives for no reason.

Here "το νερό" is in the subject position. Μου αρέσει το νερό - Το νερό αρέσει σε μένα. Το νερό is the subject of this sentence. And the rule is that subjects in greek sentences need articles.
It's like the German "Mir gefällt es - Es gefällt mir." "Es" is the subject. (and maybe Spanish "Me gusta"?)

In greek the phrase "Μου αρέσει νερό" is absolutely wrong. you need the article
Let me guess.. why.. in Greek we do not differentiate countable and uncountable nouns as we do it in English. You only have to study the appropriate article to each word. That is the issue.
