Answer 1

1. The Correct Option Answer is "B" - an illusory contract

an illusory contract is a contract between two parties in which the consideration for the contract is illusionary. In such contracts, one party gives as consideration a promise that is so insubstantial that it would not result in or impose any obligations. Such promise would make the contract unenforceable

As Per this contract, there is a promise

2. The Correct option answer is "C" - may be brought where an employer fires an employee for refusing to do an illegal act

If the employee is fired only for refusing to do something illegal requested by his employer, the employee can sue the employer for wrongful discharge.

3. The correct option answer is "D" - the company was the cause of the injuries

In order for a plaintiff to win a lawsuit for negligence, they must prove all of the "elements." For instance, one of the elements is "damages," meaning the plaintiff must have suffered damages (injuries, loss, etc.) in order for the defendant to be held liable. So, even if you can prove that the defendant was negligent, you may not be successful in your negligence claim lawsuit if that negligence caused you no harm.
