The bureaucrat was . . . . . . . for his role in the scam.

reinstated
criticised
indicted
indited

The correct answer is: C. indicted

To indict someone is to formally accuse them of a crime. In the United States, an indictment is a formal accusation of a crime made by a grand jury. A grand jury is a group of citizens who are responsible for deciding whether there is enough evidence to charge someone with a crime.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Reinstated means to put someone back in their job or position.
  • Criticized means to express disapproval of someone or something.
  • Indited is a misspelling of indicted.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
