Answer
A
The cabinet is chosen by Congress without the president’s approval.
B
The president can meet with the cabinet to get its advice on policy changes.
C
The cabinet is composed of members of Congress approved by the president.
D
The cabinet members lead executive departments that do the work of the executive branch.
E
The president can eliminate a cabinet department if the need arises.

Explanation

The president can meet with cabinet members for advice, so statement B is accurate. Cabinet members generally lead executive departments, which carry out the work of the executive branch, making D accurate. Congress does not choose the cabinet without the president, and cabinet members are not required to be members of Congress. The president also cannot eliminate a department on their own; that generally requires congressional action.
