Question: 238

8. Unable to _______ the jury to believe his sketchy alibi, the defendant finally acknowledged committing the crimes he stood accused of.

  • A. induce
  • B. imply
  • C. deplore
  • D. raze

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

A is correct. The logic of this question indicates that the defendant was unable to influence the jury or convince them to accept his weak alibi. Since neither influence nor convince is among the answer choices, you want to try to select the word you believe comes closest in meaning. Induce (choice A) meaning "to lead or move, as to a course of action, by influence or persuasion," is correct.
