选项 A、outline
B、outcome
C、input
D、intake

答案C

解析 考查名词辨析。空格所在句子的意思为:陪审团的决定可能有来自不同背景的不同人的______。要填入的单词受到from many different people from different backgrounds,who must as a group decide what is right的限定,既然这些人“能够决定事情的对错”,那么他们的决定一定是有影响力的,因此C.input是正确答案,可表示“影响”。outline意为“概述,略述,轮廓”;outcome一般指“(事件或行为的)结果,效果”;intake意为“摄取量,接收入数”,均不符合题意。
