Answer 1

Excused

Step-by-step explanation:

Accused means to be charged with, liable for some criminal or wrong activity.

Closest antonym (ie opposite meaning) of this could be 'Excused', ie being given benefit of doubt.

Expected can be used in same sense, (A Person expected to be a criminal). Examined, explained are much unrelated to the word.
