Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is "tried to cover-up his involvement."

Explanation
Option 1: Pardoned the burglars after they promised not to testify against him

This option is incorrect. Nixon did not pardon the burglars; instead, he was involved in efforts to obstruct the investigation.

Option 2: Tried to cover-up his involvement

This is the correct answer. After the Watergate burglars were caught, President Richard Nixon and his administration attempted to cover up their involvement in the break-in. This included efforts to obstruct justice, which eventually led to Nixon's resignation.

Option 3: Interviewed the news reporters who wrote about the break-in

This option is incorrect. Nixon did not personally interview the reporters. The reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, were instrumental in uncovering the details of the Watergate scandal through their investigative journalism.

Option 4: Immediately resigned from office

This option is incorrect. Nixon did not immediately resign after the burglars were caught. He resigned much later, on August 8, 1974, after the cover-up efforts were exposed and impeachment proceedings were initiated.
