Question

complete the sentence with the word that best fits the overall meaning and tone. the jurors did not feel comfortable rendering a guilty verdict without ______ proof of the defendant’s guilt. transparent conclusive

Explanation:

To determine the correct word, we analyze the context. The sentence is about jurors needing proof to render a guilty verdict. "Conclusive" means providing definite proof, which fits the legal context of needing solid evidence. "Transparent" refers to clarity or visibility, not the strength of proof, so it's inappropriate here.

Answer:

conclusive
