Question

the root dict means say or declare. what does the word indictment mean? an effort to remove people from a given area a formal accusation charging someone of a crime the official process for passing a bill into law

Explanation:

The root "dict" means "say" or "declare". "Indictment" has the root "dict" and the prefix "in - " (which can be related to "against" in this context). A formal accusation charging someone of a crime involves declaring (via "dict") against someone in a legal context. The first option is about removing people (unrelated to "dict" meaning), and the third is about passing a bill (also unrelated). So the correct meaning is a formal accusation charging someone of a crime.

Answer:

B. a formal accusation charging someone of a crime
