Question # 1:

"How do congressional investigations benefit American citizens?
Select all that apply. "
________________________________________________________
The answers are:
________________________________________________________
[B]: "The findings from the investigations are used to create new laws";
________________________________________________________
AND:
________________________________________________________
[C]: "The investigations bring information to the public" .
________________________________________________________
Note: This question asks to: "...Select all that apply."
________________________________________________________
Consider:
________________________________________________________
"Choice: [A]: "American citizens perform the investigations." ;
→This answer choice is ludicrous and irrelevant, in the context of the actual question being asked. We can rule out: "Choice: [A]" .
________________________________________________________
"Choice: [D]: "Policemen perform the investigations."
→Again, this answer choice is irrelevant and does not make sense, as regards to the actual question.
________________________________________________________
"Choices: [B] and [C]" are true and correct — and make sense.
