From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences. 

The defence counsel was unable to convince the ______ of John's innocence. 

Answer Details
The defence counsel was unable to convince the "jury" of John's innocence. Explanation: In a court trial, the jury is a group of people selected to listen to the evidence presented and to make a decision or verdict on the case. The jury's responsibility is to determine the facts and apply the law to those facts. In this case, the defence counsel was unable to persuade the jury to believe that John was innocent. Therefore, the correct answer is "jury."
