Jawab

The correct answer is a. "is neglected." The sentence is in the passive voice, meaning that the subject (baby) is being acted upon by someone or something else. In this case, the baby is crying, and the implication is that the reason for the crying is neglect. The phrase "by the babysitter" indicates who or what is responsible for the neglect, but it does not change the fact that the baby is the one being neglected.
