Answer 1

A is your answer .............

Answer 2

Answer:

He ordered a cover-up after the break-in.

Explanation:

White House consultant E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy of the Committee to Re-elect the President ordered the break-in at the Democratic National Committee Headquarters at the Watergate Hotel. President Nixon found out about the break-in and ordered a cover-up. Because of Nixon's involvement in the cover-up of the burglary, he most likely would have been impeached. Nixon chose to resign rather than face impeachment.
