This divides the courtroom.

• A. The bench
• B. The bar
• C. The jury box
• D. The witness stand

Answer: (B)

This question tests courtroom layout vocabulary. The barrier that divides the courtroom is called the bar. It marks the boundary between the area where lawyers and the judge operate and the area where the public sits. The bench is the judge’s elevated seat, the jury box is just where jurors sit, and the witness stand is where testimony happens. But the bar is the element that most clearly functions as the dividing line.
