    given to fill in the blanks: The direction came in response to a Right to Information request to the Chief Commissioner of Customs in Amritsar, asking for information on officers caught, __________or jailed for smuggling over the last 10 years.
    A acquitted Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B evicted Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C convicted Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D impeached Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Explanation: The sentence refers to officers who were caught and then faced legal consequences for smuggling. The most appropriate word should indicate that they were officially found guilty of the crime. Convicted → Means declared guilty of a crime by a court of law. Acquitted → Means declared not guilty, which contradicts the idea of being caught for smuggling. Evicted → Means forcibly removed from a place, such as a house or property, which does not fit the legal context. Impeached → Refers to charging a high-ranking official with misconduct, usually in a political or governmental setting. It does not imply a criminal conviction.
