Answer 1

Answer:

a.No contract was formed because the offer was not communicated to the offeree by the means chosen by the offeror.

Explanation:

Hello! It was an oversight on the part of the secretary to comment on the proposal informally, as it ended up contaminating the entire plan that the boss had in her new offer for Deanna, causing discontent because the contract was serious and it's converted in an unprofessional situation.
