Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A continuance in a legal context means that the trial is postponed to a later date. This can be for various reasons, including giving more time to prepare, waiting for important evidence, or, as mentioned in option B, to lessen the effects of pre-trial publicity that might influence the fairness of the trial. Voir dire is the process of jury selection and is not directly expanded by a continuance. The trial is not suspended based on the defendant's behavior outside of the legal proceedings, so option C is incorrect.
