Why thanksgiving is important holiday
bekas [8.4K]

Thanksgiving is a U.S. national holiday and it is every year on the fourth Thursday of November. On Thanksgiving, family and friends come together and they give thanks for their blessings.

American Indians and the pilgrims started this tradition a long time ago. The pilgrims were the people who arrived in America in the year 1620 and the American Indians helped the pilgrims grow different types of crops when they arrived.

In the year 1621, (almost 400 years ago), all of them gathered together for a large meal to celebrate their survival. President Lincoln made this a national holiday.

Thanksgiving is a great holiday to come together with family and friends to say blessings and for them to be thankful for what they have.

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Answer is Option B: that she was under undo duress from her son and daughter-in-law and that the agreement is voidable.

Explanation:

When the broker came to offer Mrs. G, the price he offered was quite less than what she was asking for. Still his son and his wife urged her to sign the offer. So, later she can claim that she was under a lot of threat and violence from her son and daughter-in-law to sign the offer and it would make the agreement voidable.

She cannot claim about Broker's offering less price, as per Option A. Neither she can say that Broker defrauded them, as per Option C. Option D is also incorrect as it says that her consumer rights were taken illegally by her son and his wife.
