Question

Choose the suitable adjective to fill in the blanks in the sentence. The senior counsel presented a ________ argument that convinced the judge.

• A. evasive
• B. weak
• C. compelling
• D. flimsy

Hint:

Look for words with strong positive collocations in professional contexts.
An argument that successfully ``convinces'' someone is by definition ``compelling''.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the context.
The sentence describes an argument presented by a senior counsel that succeeded in convincing the judge. The blank must describe the quality of that argument.
Step 2: Evaluate the options.
"Evasive" means avoiding the point; "weak" and "flimsy" both mean unconvincing -- none of these would convince a judge.
Step 3: Select the correct word.
"Compelling" means powerfully persuasive, which perfectly matches an argument that convinced the judge. \[ \boxed{\text{compelling}} \]
