Explanation:

• For question 96: Vetoing legislation, granting pardons, and declaring martial law are powers often held by state - level executives. Amending the state constitution usually requires a more complex process involving the legislature and sometimes a vote by the people, and is not a common power of state executives.
• For question 97: The state's Attorney General is typically the chief law enforcement officer, providing legal advice to the state government and representing the state in legal matters.
• For question 98: The primary function of a grand jury in the state court system is to review evidence and decide if a case should go to trial. It does not determine guilt or innocence (that's for the trial jury), decide on sentencing, or select judges.

Answer:

1. d. Amending the state constitution
2. a. Chief law enforcement officer
3. c. To review evidence and decide if a case should go to trial
