The three powers of the Senate from the options provided are:

  1. Try cases of the impeachment of federal officials
  2. Confirm Presidential appointments
  3. Ratify treaties

The Senate does not initiate revenue bills or impeach federal officials; those powers belong to the House of Representatives. The Senate elects the President only in the event of an Electoral College tie, but this is not an exclusive power.
