Sarah's house caught on fire. Through the prompt assistance of her neighbor Odessa, the fire was quickly extinguished. In gratit

Answer:

To enforce this promise we need to analyse whether there has been any agreement or contract between Sarah and Odessa and whether the same can be enforced.

Explanation:

In Sarah's case, her offer to gratuitously pay the neighbor for assisting in the house fire is not an enforceable contract. When the neighbor rushed to help in the fire, the offer to pay $1,000 had not yet been extended. When Sarah did extend the offer to pay $1,000, there was no consideration exchanged between both parties. The consideration, putting out the fire, had already occurred without the offer or acceptance of a contract.

Consider an alternate scenario. Sarah's house was on fire, and she could not wait for the fire department. She ran to her neighbor's house, begged for help, and offered $1,000 in exchange for neighbor's assistance. After hearing Sarah's plea, the neighbor agrees to assist in extinguishing the fire. This constitutes a contract; an offer, consideration, and acceptance.
