The judge used his ___ in settling the matter.

A) Know B) Tactics
C) Discretion D) Brains
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Discretion

Explanation:

To settle a dispute, one needs to have a sound decision-making ability to be able to judge both the sides. Also, a judge is a free body to decide upon any issue. 'Know' is a verb which means to be aware of through observation, inquiry, or information. 'Tactics' refer to an action or strategy carefully planned to achieve a specific end. A judge doesn't need tactics to make a judgment. 'Discretion' means the freedom to decide what should be done in a particular situation. 'Brains' refer to the intellectual capacity. 'Bias' means inclination or prejudice for or against one person or group, especially in a way considered to be unfair. Hence option 3 is the correct response.
