Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Forbearance to do an act can support a contract as it involves refraining from doing something that one has the legal right to do. This act of forbearance can be considered a form of consideration in the contract. The other options do not support a contract as an illusory promise lacks consideration, past consideration is not considered valid consideration, and a pre-existing public obligation does not involve a promise between the parties.
