Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Henry's promise not to open before 10:00 A.m. is a forbearance, which means he is refraining from doing something he has a legal right to do. In exchange for this forbearance, Isis agrees to close her café by 4:00 p.m. This constitutes a valid consideration for both parties, and creates a legally binding agreement. The other options (A, B, and D) are not applicable in this scenario.
