To accuse government officials of misconduct in office

• A. Exonerate
• B. Impeach
• C. Indict
• D. Repeal

Answer: (B)

Impeachment is the process by which government officials are charged with misconduct while in office. It’s a constitutional mechanism that starts with the legislative branch bringing charges against a sitting official, and it may lead to a trial in the Senate, where removal from office is possible. This fits the prompt because it directly denotes accusing an official of improper conduct in their official role. Indictment refers to criminal charges in the judicial system and isn’t specific to officials in office; exonerate means to clear someone of blame, not accuse; repeal means to revoke a law, not to charge a person.
