Question

the root dict means say or declare. what does the word indictment mean?
a group or organization financed by the government
an effort to remove people from a given area
a formal accusation charging someone of a crime

Explanation:

The root "dict" means "say" or "declare". The word "indictment" relates to formally declaring or accusing someone of a crime. The first option is about a government - funded group, which has nothing to do with "dict" meaning. The second option is about removing people from an area, also not related to "dict". The third option, "a formal accusation charging someone of a crime", fits as it involves a formal declaration (related to "dict") of an accusation.

Answer:

a formal accusation charging someone of a crime
