The scandal of Watergate is probably one of the biggest cases of political corruption and abuse of power by a leader in the United States, and certainly one of the best known in the world. Initiated in the 1970´s, and after the discovery of all that encompassed this scandal, Watergate brought the end of President Richard Nixon´s political career and he avoided jail time merely because he was pardoned by the later elected President Gerald Ford.
1. Watergate, in essence was the result of the discovery of the fraudulent actions taken by President Nixon and his re-election campaign managers by wiretapping leaders and members of the opposing Democratic Party and also the discovery of the way that Nixon used his powers, especially with the FBI and other agencies to cover the actions. The answer, then to the first question is A: The cover-up involved criminal activities and obstruction of justice by the president of the United States.
2. The lasting effects of Watergate are many and they range from political to social effects. In the political and legal arena, it forced Congress to take measures to ensure something like this never happened again and passed several Acts to prevent it, like the Freedom of Information Act. Also, politically, the Republicans lost a lot of seats and most importantly, Gerard Ford, who pardoned Nixon, lost the reelection in 1976. But probably the biggest blow was socially. Because after that people became really dubitative of their political leaders and of their government. This is why the second answer is B: Many Americans lost faith in their government and became cynical about politics.

Replaced how? If you mean like the Roman empire, that would be incorrect. Both empires considered each other Roman and both empires considered themselves Roman. So when the west fell, the Byzantines did not 'replace' the western Romans in being Roman. Instead, they just kept on being Roman as their western counterparts fell. However, for a period, the Byzantines did manage to reconquer parts of the Western Empire and even Rome, but that was relatively short-lived. In that case, you could argue that the Byzantines sort of did replace the western Romans in being the Roman empire with Rome in its possession. However, that is a stretch in my opinion.
In short: False, the Eastern Romans did not replace the western Romans as they were both seen as Romans, just with different governments.
