The set of instructions a judge gives to the jury after closing arguments is known as:

  1. Challenge

  2. Jury Instructions

  3. Verdict

  4. Judgement

The correct answer is: Jury Instructions

In a court case, the set of instructions that a judge gives to the jury after closing arguments is known as jury instructions. This is important because it guides and informs the jury on how to apply the law to the specific case they are deciding. Option A, challenge, is not a correct term as it does not pertain to the instructions given to the jury. Option C, verdict, refers to the decision made by the jury based on the instructions given to them. Option D, judgement, refers to the decision made by the judge in the case. Therefore, option B, jury instructions, is the most accurate term for the set of instructions given to the jury by the judge.
