The jury, a【B3】______of ordinary citizens chosen to decide a case, is an 【B4】______ part of our common-law system.
    Use of juries to decide cases is a 【B5】______ feature of the American legal system.

【B18】

选项 A、administers
B、manages
C、oversees
D、presides

答案C

解析 考查动词辨析。空格处填入的动词的主语是the judge,其宾语是the selection of jurors,即表示“法官______陪审团成员的选举”。C.oversee意为“监督,监视(以确保某项工作或活动的恰当完成)”,oversee the elections表示“监督选举”。由于法官并不直接参与陪审团的选举,因此C.oversee为正确答案。administer意为“管理(公司、组织、机构),治理(国家);施行,执行”;manage表示“管理,负责(公司、球队、组织等)”;preside是不及物动词,和介词over或at搭配表示“主持(会议、仪式等);管理”,均不符合题意。
