Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

'Counsel' fits both contexts with different meanings. In sentence I, 'defence counsel' refers to a lawyer representing the accused. In sentence II, 'take my counsel' means asking someone to follow their advice. 'Attorney', 'advice', 'side', and 'place' don't work in both sentences.
