Answer
A
to pass whatever laws are best for the country as a whole
B
to sign bills into law

to monitor the executive branch

Explanation

The Supreme Court is the highest court in the judicial branch. It settles legal disputes and can decide whether laws or government actions are constitutional. Passing laws is the legislature’s role, signing bills is the president’s role, and monitoring the executive branch is not the Supreme Court’s main function.
