OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Answer: C.
Remember that collective nouns such as “the jury” are singular. That means the correct form is “the jury sympathizes.” Therefore, choices A and B are incorrect. Choices D and E both use unidiomatic phrases—“unfavorable for” and “unfavorable towards”— and make the sentence illogical by stating that the facts are unfavorable to the client instead of the client’s case. Choice E also has a pronoun error: “their plight” would refer to the plight of the lawyers, since “client” is singular.
