a. there is no consideration present in this example.
b. Two of these but not all three.
c. there is an illusory contract, because Darla is not certain she will receive the money.
d. the consideration from Darla to Edward is the promise of $6,000 subject to a condition.

Answer 1

Answer: d. the consideration from Darla to Edward is the promise of $6,000 subject to a condition.

Explanation:

Based on the information given, we should note that if Edward agrees to Darla's offer, the consideration from Darla to Edward is the promise of $6,000 subject to a condition.

This is because Darla offered to pay Edward the $6,000 for his car, as long as she gets that much from her uncle's estate, which is under probation. In the case whereby she doesn't get up to $6000, then she won't be bake to buy the car for $6000.
