As a paralegal getting a case ready for trial, you will NOT spend time:

Contacting witnesses
Arguing pretrial motions in court
Preparing a trial notebook
Researching issues

The correct answer is: Arguing pretrial motions in court

A paralegal's primary role in preparing for trial is to assist the lawyer in organizing and managing the information and evidence necessary for the case. This includes contacting witnesses, preparing a trial notebook, and conducting research on key issues relevant to the case. Arguing pretrial motions in court is typically the responsibility of the lawyer, not the paralegal. While the paralegal may help the lawyer with the preparation of these motions, they will not personally engage in the argumentation in court. Therefore, option B is incorrect as it is not a task typically assigned to a paralegal in trial preparation.
