Question

what is the correct meaning of the word negligence?
people tend to notice any negligence by their government.
unusual interest or alarm
lack of care or attention
swift reaction to a problem
decision - making process

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "negligence", we analyze the context and the options. The sentence "People tend to notice any negligence by their government" implies something the government does that people notice, likely a failure in care/attention. "Unusual interest or alarm" is incorrect. "Swift reaction to a problem" is the opposite of negligence. "Decision - making process" is unrelated. "Lack of care or attention" fits the meaning of negligence.

Answer:

B. lack of care or attention (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with A: unusual interest or alarm, B: lack of care or attention, C: swift reaction to a problem, D: decision - making process)
