Question 9

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Venerable" means respected, not related to "will" for equality.
• "Conjectural" means based on conjecture, irrelevant here.
• "Indefatigable" means tireless, which fits a leader's will to push for equality.

Analyze the options:

• "Demeanor" is behavior, not related to lack of evidence.
• "Conjecture" is a guess/hypothesis, so if prosecution lacked evidence, their presentation was conjecture.
• "Machination" is a plot, not about lack of evidence.

Answer:

C. Indefatigable
