Connect each technical term with an activity.
The legislature concerns passing laws. The executive includes government and administration, which carry out state decisions. The judiciary resolves legal questions through independent courts.
A shared word ending does not prove that terms belong to the same category. A word that sounds official does not thereby become a branch of state power. The defined function in the system matters.
The other three answers
These three terms do belong to the classic separation of powers.
Legislative
The legislature is the lawmaking branch, so the term belongs to the three-part division.
Judiciary
The judiciary is the adjudicating branch. Courts perform its core function.
Executive
The executive is the implementing branch. It includes government and administration.
Separation does not mean total disconnection.
The branches scrutinise one another and cooperate through defined procedures. For example, government can introduce bills even though it belongs to the executive.
“State power” here means public decision-making and authority to act. It does not refer only to physical force.
