Answer 2

Answer :

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'neglect' as 'to not give enough care or attention to people or things that are your responsibility.'

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'neglected' as 'not receiving enough care or attention.'

'Neglecting' is the gerund form of the word 'neglect.'

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'negligent' as 'not being careful or giving enough attention to people or things that are your responsibility.'

From the above definitions we can conclude that 'was negligent' is the correct word to be used in the blank.

So, the correct sentence is :

Too busy for her own good, Sarah was negligent about drinking enough water.
