  2. B
    affidavit
  3. C

  4. D

Answer

The word 'appeal' correctly completes the sentence.
The term 'appeal' is the specific legal register word used when a party asks a higher court to reverse or reconsider a judgment made by a lower court.

Step-by-Step Solution

Analyze the sentence context and identify the targeted professional field.
The context involves court proceedings ('attorney', 'higher court', 'trial court'), pointing to legal register.
Specialized vocabulary must match the specific function within the legal domain.
2
Evaluate the terms against the required legal definition of asking a higher court to review a decision.
'Appeal' specifically denotes the procedure of bringing a case to a higher court for review.
Other legal terms like affidavit, indictment, and injunction refer to different legal procedures.
