Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Key idea: “Discretion” means the freedom or judgment to decide what should be done in a situation.
A judge examines facts and then uses judgment while granting bail.
“Influence”, “lawyers”, and “skills” do not fit the legal decision-making context as naturally.
Answer: Option 0, “discretion”, is correct.
