Answer: Trial Jury
A trial jury, also known as a petit jury, decides whether the defendant committed the crime as charged in a criminal case, or whether the defendant injured the plaintiff in a civil case.
Consists of 6-12 people.
Trials are generally public, but jury deliberations are private.
Defendants have the right to appear, testify, and call witnesses on their behalf.
Final outcome is a verdict, in favor of plaintiff or defendant in a civil case, or guilty/not guilty in a criminal case.
Grand Jury
A grand jury is presented with evidence from the U.S. attorney, the prosecutor in federal criminal cases. The grand jury determines whether there is “probable cause” to believe the individual has committed a crime and should be put on trial. If the grand jury determines there is enough evidence, an indictment will be issued against the defendant.
Consists of 16-23 people.
Grand jury proceedings are not open to the public.
Defendants and their attorneys do not have the right to appear before the grand jury.
Explanation: bench trial is a trial by judge, as opposed to a trial by jury. The term applies most appropriately to any administrative hearing in relation to a summary offense to distinguish the type of trial.

Answer:
Opening statements.
Explanation:
<u>Opening statements</u>, like the name suggests, <u>are the starting statements that narrate the events of the case and what's involved</u>. The prosecutor and the defense team will both present their opening statements, though the defense team is not normally required to do so.
During a trial, these opening statements by both parties will provide the jury and the others present in court the outline of the major events, objectives of their teams in the case. This will provide them the time to present the evidence, the witnesses t be called, and the objectives of the parties in each trying to prove their case.
Thus, the correct answer is opening statements.
When citizens have low efficacy, they do not have faith in their government and do not believe that their actions affect the government and the actions of their political leaders. When citizens have high efficacy, they have faith in their government and believe that they have the ability to influence political leaders and affect the government. There are multiple ways in which citizens' political efficacy can be expressed: through the media, by having the right to protest, by being able to create petitions, and by having free and fair elections.
