Answer 1

Solution:

37) The described situation is that of a deposition, which means a testimony of witness by lawyer under oath, which is recorded (either digitally or written manner) by an official.

Thus, the correct option is (d) a Deposition.

40) As breach in contract is made by the other person, Maleficent, Princess Snow has all the mentioned options available.

Thus, the correct option is (d) All of these are options available to Snow.

42) All the options are not available in the question (option d is missing), however as Plain Meaning Rule says that contract be followed in literal terms, so with no college and joining the army, the contract becomes void. Thus, correct option is (promptly) (a)

43) An offer is what someone says would pay for a good or service or such thing. Among the given options, the only option in which Curly suggests to pay something is first one.

Thus, the correct option is (a) I will pay you $500 for that car.

44) A contract's main/prime factors are offer, acceptance, and consideration, and so to make a contract out of promise, the law requires these three.

Thus, the correct option is (a) Offer, acceptance, and consideration.
