A judge must grant a motion for a new trial if it is made within ten days of the judgment.

• A. Within five days
• B. Within seven days
• C. Within fifteen days
• D. Within ten days

Answer: (D)

Timing for post-judgment relief is fixed. The window for filing a motion for a new trial runs from the date judgment is entered, and the motion must be filed within ten days. If it’s timely filed, the court considers it; if it’s after ten days, the motion is generally untimely and won’t be granted. So the exact deadline the question tests is ten days after judgment. The other intervals—five, seven, or fifteen days—either fall inside or outside that fixed window, but they do not define the rule itself.
