Manacled, fettered.
They wanted to “keep the prisoner _________,” but
the “restraints would prejudice the jury.” So the plan must have been to keep
this prisoner restrained. “Manacled” and “fettered” are very close synonyms
that mean chained or restrained and are, therefore, the correct pair.
“Incensed,” meaning “angry,” pairs somewhat nicely with “nettled,” meaning
irritated or annoyed. While they make a good pair, they do not mean
restrained. Neither “malleable,” meaning bendable or easily influenced, nor
“incomparable” fit the context of the sentence.
