Question

Choose the right option to complete the blank.

His argument were not strong enough to _____ the judge.

• A. perceive
• B. convince
• C. disgrace
• D. revert

Answer 1

The correct option is B convince

'Convince' means cause (someone) to believe firmly in the truth of something. It fits into the given context as it conveys the required meaning: he did not have strong arguments that would have persuaded the judge to believe him. B is the answer.

The other options seem out of context.
